There's plenty of forest preserves around Chicago-suburbs. The one I live closest to offers a chance to view some elk.
I have to say, they're pretty damn beautiful. I also thought it was funny that as a bunch of people crowded around them, one elk poked it's head up and caught a glimpse of me. As I walked around the bend it started jogging alongside me.
Whether that was intentional or not I thought it was cool. What can I say? Animals love me.
I'm also curious as to why some have long-sharp antlers while the ones I saw had short stubby ones. Suppose it's time to use the interwebs for some educatin'!
P.S. i'm not sad nor do I take pills.
Missouri does perplex me however.
Enjoy.
