#2 does look like an irate diner! This is an amazing capture. The elk at the cabin I used to go to did not stick around too long, lots of blurry shots of them running off, you must be an elk whisperer 😉
Thanks! These elk own the valley – we are just a temporary distraction. The reason this guy bolted was that someone pulled up in a truck right next to him rather than pulling off and hiking up to where I was (my pet peeve) he was happy to stick around until he was crowded. I was probably 20 feet from him.
Thanks – The right place and time was about 5:30 this morning scouting the valley:) They are out for about an hour after sunrise. Have you been to Boxley? It’s stunning.
The grass was greener on the other side or maybe there was a lady elk over there – ha! Great Photos!
LOL – it’s all about greener pastures! Thanks!

I don’t think so! But I need to go.
It’s really a beautiful place, old barns, elk, deer, the Buffalo River – you should go!
I like how you keep adding places to my list!!! 🙂
🙂
Oh hilarous!
Thanks!
Ok, I’m thinking you need your own photography show! The Elk Whisperer. 😉
Haha – These guys are just so unimpressed with humans – we are of no consequence – it’s pretty easy to get shots of them.
