This ELK should be standing in front of an Elks Lodge somewhere.
The article in Wikipedia, is written about Milwaukee, WI lodge's Elk...but could be any lodge. The article also says most Elks Lodges are on the east coast...which is absolute hog-wash...There are lodges all over the country.
I am an B.O.P.E. member here in Missouri
I was deriving in Bare-Butt nowhere Lincoln County and needed the rest room...saw this gas station, and was surprised to see the Elk.
"Elk is a public artwork by an unknown artist located in front of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Milwaukee Lodge 46, which is on the Northwest side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The zinc sculpture depicts a 7'6" tall elk atop a brick pedestal announcing the club's events.
"The Elk sculpture in front of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Milwaukee Lodge portrays an elk made out of zinc painted gold and brown. The elk stands erect with his head turned 10 degrees to the proper left. His front legs are straight and parallel, while his proper left hind foot is in front of his proper right leg. The sculpture's base depicts a forest floor, including a small broken tree stump on the proper left. The sculpture stands on a brick base that displays advertisements for the lodge. There is a plaque on the base with the Elks Lodge logo." ~ Wikipedia
