 On the edge of the wilderness, the wapiti (elk) encroach on civilization. An elk herd routinely grazes on the municipal golf course. The elk in the photo is a "spike"... a teenaged bull. Not dangerous, but only the residents know he's all bluff and bluster.

Your photo makes me laugh. Great colors. I kind of wish you had cropped out the tree on the right, but still a really fun photo to look at. Good luck in the challenge. 9

This is priceless! Is he considered an immovable object? Do you get a free drop?
