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.

Those are perfect. I was talking to my girlfriend about a roadtrip to banff/jasper alberta and i think those pics will do all the persuading. That is exactly how i remember the place when i went six years ago. The water colors up there are incredible.

It ended up being a better choice. I went moose hunting last year and got more moose shots. It was really a down year, with no bulls over about 360". Up there, photography is like pizza or sex, even when it's bad it's good. We got a report that some of my usual spots did not hold big rams this early and I couldn't find anything over 175" so I didn't even shoot sheep. I did take a day trip out to the Cadomin mine and spotted a ram with about 16 feet of horn (195"). Images aren't good so I'll save you all. Amazing how a large ram can take your breath away even through a lot of glass at about a half mile away.

Thanks all!

P.S. - I saw Timber posted a few over at huntfishnw and on his website at www.jontimmer.com. He got a lot of different stuff that I didn't get.
