This is a St Loouis County Park. They named it lone Elk park because years ago they found a single elk on the property. It was made a park in the 70s and they brought in animals. They used to have long horn sheep, also, don't know where they went. Mostly it is deer, elk and buffalo. I have seen a coyote there, plus numerous birds and small mammals. They also have a bird sanctuary, I have posted photos from there in the past. The main part of the place is down a steep hill, inaccessable for us handicapped people. I have complained to them about that.
My camera is the Sony DSC H7, just came out in June. It has a 15x zoom on it so I can keep the 100 feet away and still get good shots. Altho, some were closer, I just did't get out of the car.
