Started off the day on the ------ with a little morning light and some awsome creatures of the forest .

Later got to see 4 of these, creatures of the water. You have to love the coastal streams of Washington, I know I do.

Looks like a good day

Hey that picture of the Elk looks awsome, but is that an elk or a shadow just to the left of the little group of elk?

Cant beat that fish and wildlife in one day, not to mention some decent weather!!!!

right on bro!

PEACE

A nice day on the water. Got to see some fish and wildlife to boot.

The elk were thick on the right bank, when I floated down further they took off, there was even a small deer hanging out with them.

Love the picture of the elk, just awsome. Had to set the picture as my background picture. Thxz.

Nice pics Fishdoctor! That's what I call a nice day in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! I noticed you left out the name of the place you were fishing

Let's go ahead and see just exactly what's hiding in the shadows over yonder...shall we? How about a little zoom and a little bright light...hmmmm



Now which one is the deer?

Hmm Kid I dont see a deer but I have seen you lookin like a deer in headlights!!!
Holla back youngin

PEACE

Ok Justin,
I will show you the deer, tonight when I get home. He wasnt in this photo, I saw him as I approched the tail out. Maybe you can identify the species for me, it's actually the first deer I have seen on the -----, I thought maybe they were hunted out. Its not like Montana where the deer are around every corner of the river. <img border="0" alt="[eat]" title="" src="graemlins/eat.gif" />

Blacktail

Kevin is right... All deer on the OP are blacktail deer. There is a healthy population out there, however, they are much more secretive than the whitetail or mule deer you find in MT which is why you don't see them often.

And the elk are different as well from MT... Roosevelt elk are larger than the inland Rocky Mountain variety, but with smaller antlers.

The deer are elusive, this is the first I have ever seen on the ------ in many years of floating it. It is not an Elk, although at first I thought it might be a baby ElK as it was hanging close to the Elk herd.
Lots of Fun to see..... you have to love the coast, wildlife everywhere...not including the locals
