The animals here are absolutely in the wild condition and there was no one in the region but ourselves . On Friday , September 6th , we sighted some Elk on the lake shore at sunrise , but could not get nearer than two hundred yards , at which distance I took a poor snap . The Elk wheeled and ran out of sight . I set off on foot with the guide about 8:30 . We startled one or two Elk , but they were very wild , and I got no chance to photograph . About 10:30 , when several miles farther in the wilderness , we sighted a cow Elk standing in a meadow with a Coyote sneaking around about one hundred yards away . `` That 's my Elk , '' I said , and we swung under cover .
