) all I have to do is look around my little piece of heaven and God shows me ALL of His mighty power of creation! Upon returning home from a WONDERFUL fishing trip last evening, we were greeted by Bernie, Ernie, Fred and Barney (my resident Elk heard) 
Now I ask you, where else can you sit on your back deck and watch trophy elk grazing within 100 FEET of you?? Something ELSE very cool we've been witnessing, a coyote (yup, you guessed it, we've named him Willie Coyote LOL!) following Bernie and company, talked to a friend of ours who is a AZ Game and Fish officer, says he's seen this happen a lot, a coyote will loose his pack, take up with a heard of elk for protection and food, as the elk graze, they stir up field mice, rabbits etc.

OH.....I'm sending Chad a pic of them, sorry the image isn't more clear but non the less, you can *kinda* see just how close they are to me. This photo was taken this morning, they were approx 150' away, I had the digital camera in tele mode (only 2x :? ) ENJOY!!!!
Sounds exciting!
