They are fenced in a very large wildlife preserve, so I guess they are still "wild" in the sense that they aren't in a zoo. They do like to run away when I try to get up close...:evil:

I really like this shot ... it would make for an impressive postcard. Nicely done, Mike!

Very nice shot, Mike. I know from experience it isn't easy to get a clear shot of one, as they seem to love the shadows of trees, or roam in deep grasses that obscure them.

Let me say that I've been there, and Mike did a very good job of capturing not only the animal, but the overall environment. It's kind of wooded, kind of dry and open, kind of weedy, just the sort of place that would make a bull elk start to "feel his oats."

Thanks Bob, and everybody else for looking and commenting! I think I'll be printing this one!
