Marty’s photo of the day #4405: Here’s another elk photo from my motion-sensing camera. I always aim my camera low—in hopes of capturing wolf, fox, and mountain lion shots―so up-close elk have to be positioned just right, or the camera decapitates them. This is the tail end of the herd, which was following about 15 “headless” elk that passed by in the shots before them.
