Elk & Moose

borderbrae

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.

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"!!)

Thanks, Phil.

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.
