Great shots and posses Dan! The liught on the first one is great! Today was much better. Most people didn't find the group me, Weldon and Lori were photographing, so the Elk stayed pretty close and we got to move around a lot to get in good position with the light.

So, it is looking like yours and Kurt's photos were both in the morning. In the past, I've only shot the rut in the evenings. In your experience, is the morning better than the evening? I'm planning on heading up there with the family sometime next weekend, and trying to figure out what might be the best time.

Excellent poses, Dan!
You couldn't have asked for better light.

Sweet shots! My hunting friends have been telling me how close they've been getting to the elks, observing them in all different kinds of actions... can't believe they don't have cameras for that!!! Different mentalities I guess...
