Protecting the Herd
Bull elk protecting the herd. I got close to them and he gestured to get back me off. I prefer this composition because it is not so centered on the bull elk. There are three in this series. #2291

Big Boxley Bull at Dawn #2
This pose precedes the one that follows as he was just on the edge of the road. Better lighting and better pose most ways. A beautiful animal. I missed a shot of him on the 9th and didn't know if I would get another chance. It took over an hour to get these two shots. #2270
