I hope you took that at the 300mm range, not the 70mm range.

[mikegun]

Thanks, for sure.

Elk are huge! They can also be bullies ! If you are in California in a National Park, the Elk there know people are not supposed to hurt them so they will act like jerks. I have been eyed as a bull elk deliberately walked in front of my car, I was a good distance from him when we first made eye contact and my car was moving!

We have lots of them up here as well, but I am trying to photograph them from safe distance. Thanks.

Elk are very pretty! We had them in our backyard, it was pretty cool!

[mikegun]

Thank you! Good that you have them too!
