Crap.  Just when I thought I had a chance to win you had to go and post that amazing photo Ricochet?  Still my favorite photo of yours.  It's great.  Don't you have one where he is bugling too?

Thanks to everyone for your comments, it was more a matter of being in the right place at the right time than being any kind of master of my camera.  In short, I got lucky.

Yes, its his avitar.

Actually I have quite a few of the old boy bugling.  Unfortunately the positioning of the other elk in the herd weren't always conducive to getting good photographs.  I got several like this, I was so zoned in on the bull that I didn't even notice the other elk's positions.  Kind of distracting, don't you think?



Thanks again for the kind words.
