Same Safari But I Shot an Elk!

Well, it was a camera shot anyway!     Isn't this a handsome fellow?   And the shot was kind of a "cheater" as he isn't in the wild but lives with a large herd of elk on a ranch outside of Mancos.  I had been hoping to find them close enough to the road for me to do a "shoot" someday and on our way home from our evening photo safari the time was right!  It was a thrill to capture this big guy on my camera, even if he was a local resident. sf
