Elk herd number 3, I believe there are 6 or 7 individual herds in Del Norte county.
Sea lions, there are 4 docks for their leisure.
Surfers, although no record waves today.
Longhorns.

Those are some great pictures, Viking. How far are these from where you live, or is the first one on your property?

Tex, all the pics are in/around Crescent City CA. 15-20 miles from my place. The Longhorns are close to a family owned dairy, they share a field with Bison, nothing else. They respect one another. The dairy has moveable chicken coops guarded by Great Pyrenees dogs. There are at least 100 chickens in/around each. I counted 5 "wagon" coops. http://ecodairyfarms.com/Eggs.html

No wonder people suffered to travel the Oregon Trail to get to paradise...

WOW!! Those elk! I've never seen one live myself. I'd be kinda scared, I think.
Sea lions look happy, and that's a good thing!
Love the longhorns... of course I see lots of those here in Texas, but always good photography objects!!
Thanks for sharing, I like it.

I remember when the only Roosevelt Elk herd in N. Calif. was at Prairie Creek. They sure have multiplied. Last time I was down that way, the old red school house south of Prairie Creek was surrounded with elk. The lack of logging up this way is not opening the woods for elk and deer feed to grow, and the animals are moving out of the hills on to local ranches. Kids inherited a thousand acre place that hasn't had an elk on it for at least 100 years, and on the last day of season, my stepson killed a branch antlered bull in the hay field, and today he was up in back and the dogs drove another bull out of he brush. Hasn't seen any cows yet, though. Sounds good, but they eat lots of feed and are very hard on fences.

A lot of the tribal land in Smith River has bent, broken fences. Their are 5 or 6 seperate herds that I'm aware of, and if you venture down around Klamath...a lot more. I have yet to get a good picture of a Bull elk yet. I will be glad to get a DSLR with a decent zoom.
I have 500MM lenses..35MM though. I do not want to go back to film.
