Yup! I got to bag an elk today!













But I did it with my Trusty Canon 40D and a 400 mm lens!

Nice pics! I like the one where the bull is looking left and you can see all the points and how tall he is

He was pretty good sized as you cam tell in this photo:



He was clear across the field and this photo was taken with a 400 mm lens. The previous photos were taken with the same lens and then I cropped the daylights out of them to get the closer views.

I just noticed the steel fence post.

Nope! The Elk photos were taken on the South Skagit Highway up above Presentein Creek.

Yea, I've seen them down there too. I have also ran into a group way up in Finney Creek, about half way to Darrington. That group is getting bigger and I think they may have split up. I've also seen em down by Hamilton.

great photos I like the bull with the goofy eye guards. He must have run into a wall while feeding when he was still in the velvet.
