Out to Hardware Ranch for a quick view of any new horned Elk that might have come in lately . . . I found this fellow with his stiff upper lip. One might say a hint of spring is in the air. Ducks are colored up and some early geese are showing up.

Taken with Canon 20D and Sigma BigMA 50-500 @ 500mm.

Very nice, RJ. I like the colors. Super sharp,also. I can count the teeth. I think he left his upper plate at home that day, though. Nice work.


A75, a CF card and 4 AA batteries.
Oh, yea. And one of those other guy's DSLR's.

Yes, perhaps he is old enough to be 'gumming it.'

You get this reaction from elk by saying "Ian loves you".

Talk about up close and personal. Someone should tell him if he doesn't start flossing, he'll lose the bottom teeth too. Cool shot!
