funny I think that buck is about average from up here in the NW. We have some monster Roosevelts feeding just off I-5 freeway some 30 miles to my north. when I ride out of Glendale,OR up in the hills I have to be on the watch as those dudes do not give off any warning signals when they decide to take their babes' across a road...........like a freight train acomin ~
I ran into those peckers so many years ago on a south-side climb of Mt St. Helens before it blew it's top and what a sight it was........
got it Dan, funny after I posted I thought to myself man that sucker sure has a narrow face and the colour is wrong for an Elk .............. doh !!! I apoligize for my stupidity ..........
I see the back canter of the dead boy is incredibly tall for an Elk, the broadness is common but the height of that dude is fantastic
I just read today that some female sharks can store sperm for over 6 months to delay or chose their time of pregnancy. In addition some Hammerhead females can actually asexually reproduce without male DNA.
That's the type of spider you beat w/ a damn baseball bat. My mom's house in Jersey one time got a huge spider about that size. I have no idea what it was, but I never heard the woman scream so loud in my life.
