The Wyoming king buck? All I can say is wow! What an impressive animal! Thanks for sharing Doug!

They’ve been calling this guy the king this year. The Wyoming king buck died in the winter I understand. That was a buck I’d have loved to have seen. I bet he died from human pressure.
Human pressure is hard on these deer.   People just can’t leave them alone, especially this time of year.  I still see people trying to startle them to drop their antlers.

I read on another photographers post on FB about King that he was injured during the rut and the yotes were able to get him because of it... 
I love you... I really do...
