Roosevelt elk in western Oregon

A herd of wild Roosevelt elk stand on a ridge on our ranch near Elkton, Ore., on Thursday, March 28, 2013. Roosevelt elk are the largest of the four subspecies of elk in North America. Mature bulls can weigh 1300-pounds. 
One of the cows slicks out her tongue as they move off.

The elk jump a fence on the ridge and move off out of sight.
