    I can never get enough of shooting these guys, I look forward to seeing if I can get some pics of rut activity next month, would luv to watch two big bulls fighting over their luved ones. Think about it, they only get it once a year!!! :eek:  :eek:

    Keith,

    Great shots. I too love to photo elk.

    I have a cabin rented for a week in October just outside of Estes Park,
    Colorado.

    Hope I can get some nice shots like yours.

    Wow

    Excellent. Love them both. Quite a contrast from great old dad to the young one. They are beautiful animals.

    Beautiful shots as always, Keith!!! You sure have been catching some great shots of these guys. Are these all from Jasper area?

    I know what you mean about the pack from your mountain goat post. I think my Photo-trekker weighs about 35 pounds, before I add a lunch and water bottle. If I get out and do a backpacking trip I'm going to have to be pretty selective about what I take. :smile:

    Wow, Keith! The first image is just terrific! :cool:  :biggrin:

    I've never been that close to one, in the wild... (I am a city boy, I guess :wink: ). Aren't you afraid he might charge and pick you up by the rear-end with those big antlers? :Whistle: :rolleyes:
