Alberta, Canada Trip 2011
« on: September 27, 2011, 11:02:07 AM »
It's been a while since I've posted an image here.  I'm been busy with a few other forums but had a moment to share these from a recent trip with some of my old friends/members here.

I did a trip to Alberta recently with the main focus to photograph rutting elk with Timber.  It was a rather slow year for the rut and perhaps we were a little early for this year.  We had fun anyways and got a few shots.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Awesome pics as always Pope, good to have you back.  You gotta love Alberta wildlife.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
