Elk Fight |
|
I stayed with the herd of elk for 3 days, not hiding in any way as that makes then nervous. By staying in plain view, and pretending to show absolutely no interest in them, by the third day the 6 point and 6 by 7 would do battle with me only about 25 feet away! |

The first photos above, were taken early in the morning just as a light fog lifted. They did battle off and on, for perhaps three hours, and as the sun rose the colors warmed. No telephoto lens was needed. I just had to move far enough back to get them both in the picture! |
