Elk & Moose

borderbrae · February 23, 2015

Last September the Elk were in rut in Yellowstone. There was a bull with his harem hanging around the campground and I got a wonderful image of him.

After nearly 2 weeks in Yellowstone I went to the Tetons and found that the campground I was staying in had a few what you might call "resident moose". This is one of the most handsome.

They were there at all hours and watching the bulls spar was fascinating. It is a very slow motion rite with frequent breaks.

Yeah, fantastic shots!
#2 should be framed!

Thanks, John, hard to go wrong with the locations and accommodating subjects.

Thanks, Stumblebum.

Thanks for the background info. Really nice work here (although I have never associated a moose with the word "handsome"!!)

Ace, you're welcome.

Very nice, especially the second image

Wow, really nice. I would definitely remove the human elements in the two last ones.

Yes that second one gets my vote as well, nice series.

Harry, thanks for looking and commenting.

Kdog, Thanks. I thought about removing the human elements but decided not to. These were a couple of the less intrusive elements, too.

Dennis, Thanks.
