What do you think? Elk or cattle? I have verified the view on historical slider and the critters are gone in earlier satellite view.
Show any GE elk you might have found.
I thought this was a better of season topic vs wondering if we are meth users!

my guess is cattle based on the trails

Just looked at them and they're Elk. You can see the rump patches and manes on several.

Those do look like elk to me, but those also look like cattle trails which to me indicates they're more likely to be cattle, but could be elk. I always try to find elk on google earth and have never found any. Others have posted some that are 100% for sure elk. Cool pic though. Have you tried the new web based google earth? The images are supposedly better, but the tools for measuring and such are not developed yet. There was a thread on it the other day.

They're elk, although I don't know that finding elk on GE tells you much unless the pics are during hunting season. I've found elk a few times on GE. GE changes the photos pretty often nowadays. Seems like much more often than 5-10 years ago.

The prior pic of my place here in Montana had the cattle on the place and it was very easy to see they were cattle.

This is on USFS land. But there is grazing on FS land. There is a water source noted where the concentration of animals are. I originally thought cows, but the consistent coloration had me thinking elk.
This pic is from newer GE. But picture isn't any better vs download version.

I vote elk.
Here is an aerial pic of 'for sure' elk to compare

Good chance they are elk. Based on the long shadows in the image I can only assume the photo was taken either very early or very late in the day when elk would most likely be visible.

I can see them, but I just did a bunch of meth, so I'm not sure if they are real.

I've found a couple good elk photos on google street view. Not much help for hunting, but I have always thought it was fun finding animals on street view. I have a photo saved of several species so far.
I randomly dropped the the pin on a spot in Africa and and after spinning the view around found this giraffe; I think that was the first one.
Probably too much wasted time at night looking for them :)
