I always wanted a “classic” kind of Elk shot, where one can see the steam coming out of their nose and mouth after the Bugle, with snow falling and such, and I think I finally was able to get it ! He gave us a lot of good shots, I will say that!

what a fantastic photo opportunity John. I would just love to have the chance you had to capture one like that too. For a minute I thought this was taken near Jasper NP in Canada, I have shots similar, but not as good. This one will be a biggie for you on here:-))

Beautifully captured vertical take on a Bull Elk bugling and the steam coming from his breath certainly adds that sense of the time of year just perfectly : )
