This is one of those shots that shouldn't have turned out, but did. 100-400 at 400mm and 1/160s ISO 800, 40D. It was near dark. He was walking pretty fast herding his women.

Sweet shot! Looks like a big chunk of grass hanging off his antlers too.

Yes it is. He was just rubbing his antlers all over the ground right before this shot was taken. He felt love in the air, and had to take his frustration out on something, lol.

What a great bull! I love his thick mass, and the nontypical action going on on his left side.


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
