Wyoming Elk

We were out a little north of Laramie earlier in the week and came across this bull elk about 100 feet off the road. I stopped the bike. . .grabbed the camera, and got within about 40 feet of him. He was bedded down in the hard rain, and really could have cared less if I was there or not. And while there really isn't anything to gauge his size against, he was beyond a doubt the biggest frickin' bull elk I have ever seen! I just wish I would have had something other than the 24-105 with me.

Enjoy

Very nice capture. You did very well with what you had.

Thanks Terry. I obviously would have rather he was standing when I took the shot, but that just wasn't going to happen. I've lived in this part of the country for over 30 years, and he is the biggest bull I've ever seen. . .bar none.

Cool photo! Hope to head north to photograph some bulls in the next few weeks.

You shouldn't have a problem getting your shots. . .the DWR gentleman I spoke with said its a very good year for the elk population.

Glad you liked the shot

Great capture Steve, you must have got close with just 100mm available.

Thank you Lester! I was about 40 feet from him and he could have cared less that I was there.
