This rather large gentleman wandered through our front yard this morning, hands down the biggest bull elk I have ever seen. He was docile, just grazing though he did take a long look at my garden {which is producing Blackberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Apples, and Pears, along with Tomatoes, and even a couple of Jalapeรฑos}. Fortunately I enclosed the 20 X 20' plot with 7.5' tall elk fencing which he seemed to respect.
This shot was taken looking though my garden, note the black mesh elk fencing:
We often have elk in our yard as the 4 to 5' chain link fencing doesn't even slow them down but they usually pass through at night as evidenced by the calling cards they leave behind {along with their hoof prints.| The locals call them "Elk Duds".

they're back...
While not nearly as large as our previous guest these three fine young bulls have been grazing and then bedding down right next door for an hour.
Here is a shot of my bride standing on our RV parking pad on the south driveway. We have friends coming this morning in their Class C so I moved our coach to the north driveway yesterday.
This guy is eyeing my garden like a dog looking at a pork chop. Fortunately he too seems willing to respect the 7.5' tall elk fence but the blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, apple and pears are ringing his bell.

Nice AZ bull!
We have plenty of fence destroyers that leave yard art behind too. This was last week.
At least our puppy has quit OD-ing on elk duds....
