Took this in Grand Lake near the west entrance to RMNP. I can't even imagine how painful this stage of antler grown must be.

What a bloody awful mess! Great catch Nate. His expression looks to say "Is it over yet?"

Thanks for posting this Nate....like Dan, I too have been wanting to get a shot like this. Nice job of finding this one! If it were mine, I might try to selectively lighten up the dark undercoat a smidge. But overall nice behavior shot you have here.
