The Herd Is Mine

I know all my shots say Yellowstone, Tetons or Alaska. Until you have visited there you have no idea how many photographs you can take. Maybe I will get back next year and get enough photos to last me a few more months. This big Bull Elk was shot one very cold morning along the Madison River in Yellowstone. He had a large harem of cows and he planned on keeping them. As a show of strength or just male stupidity, I am not sure which, he liked to root around in the grass and dirt with his antlers and then fling it about in the air. He did his share of bugling with another in the distance doing the same but nothing ever came about it.
