Today's photograph comes from the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. It was taken Monday night after the sun set and darkness was setting in. This large bull was trying to keep his herd of cows in line with two other bulls approaching. One did come close and the bluff charged each other before this large bull ran him off. The photo was shot at a high ISO to let enough light in to capture it, hence the noise in the photo. We did see many elk today along with a couple of moose, numerous bison and some mule deer. We spent the evening sitting on an elk kill while a black bear slept behind it never gracing us with its present. The rangers believe the bull was killed by another bull a day or so ago. The night before they removed the dead bulls antlers to keep poachers from getting them. We will spend Tuesday back on the kill in hopes of photographing the black bear feeding. I know that sound out of place since this post is showing up on Wednesday but I am putting them up as scheduled post when I have time, as I type this it is 10:00 p.m. Monday night.

Love the photo, even if it is dark. I would have done all I could to have captured it too. Sounds like you are having a great time, hope you get the photos of the bear.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures of great animals. Cool :-)
Fantastic photo, and good luck on getting those photos of the bear. I am eager to see all the photos from your trip.
