I remember my grandpa telling stories from his grandpa, about seeing an elk when they first came to this area 160 years ago. Apparently buffalo migrated through here in the fall, fattening on acorn mast.

Of course, elk ARE back in the area now... there are two ranches within five miles of here that raise them... last fall, a small bull got out... some folks caught it on their game camera eating out the corn feeders.

I'd love to have some bear in the area... always wanted a half friendly bear, to ride around in the front seat of my truck...
