They are bigger than deer.

I've seen more elk herds in the last six months than I have seen in my entire life!
One field routinely hosts a herd of about 60, another herd crossed the highway to graze on the church lawn. A smaller herd was grazing on the steep hill where the highway exits. They were so close and above me. Cool underbellies!
Then there is the herd that crosses through my backyard to get to the other side. Thank goodness they prefer the buttercups!

Joan, they do make a high pitched sound -- especially during "fall rut" (mating season).
