And completely agree, no more africans > please. https://www.rmef.org/elk-facts/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose To clarify. We've got both. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is in Missoula. Several of the open space areas are closed during to winter months to preserve the elk winter range. A fwe years ago a moose made the news when it was wandering around the city. Bears, mountain lions, and deer are common, but the moose was an oddity. Apparently he was following the river and got off course. With the exception of grizzlies, moose are what I prefer not to meet in the woods. They're big, dumb, and can be aggressive. This county is well stocked with socialists and so forth, a blue dot in the sea of red. They're rather upset lately.
