Day 96: Bigfoot made several passes through my yard in the night, and because he outweighs me by at least five times and possibly as much as ten times, his imprints went right down to the sod. There's no mistaking this ungulate: Roosevelt elk. The tracks are larger and broader than those made by deer. Although I was fairly certain I'd correctly identified them from a distance, I felt a compelling need to check. The Big Kitty has been reported in the local area in the last week or so, and would have left pug marks of similar size. Needless to say, I was relieved to see the distinct outline of hooves rather than pads, although I'm still skittish about making after-dark forays for my mail.
