In lame self-defense...
...of the radioactive RMNP elk I posted a few days ago, this is what they look like in my neck of the woods.

Thanks again for all the help.

Holy $#!@ ! How big are these two?

The adult is a 12 footer. The baby is probably 4-5 feet. And seems to still have a healthy, pinkish glow down its maw :)
