Yellowstone Elk...
I posted this over in fauna, but thought that I'd post it here too. I was only able to get this close because of the Lodgepole pines. I wasn't pressuring him, but he turned a couple of times to keep me in check. This boy was huge, and I lucked out on hime turn the right way in the very spotty light.

Jeremy cool shot. I think you got the best out of it, even thou the light and surroundings were not the best one could ask for this type of photography.

I'm always amazed bull elk can navigate a forest with those huge sets of antlers. This is illustrates that well.
