Only one problem with that 40D.....Its not a Nikon  Great shot!

[Huntbear]

Nikon probably would have never gotten that picture... 

Besides,, it sounds so much cooler to say, "I shot that elk with a Canon"

Cool picture have seen this more than once like someone else said this is usually followed by a bark or a whole bunch of breaking brush as the rest of the herd departs

Oh it was there, and heard.   

There was about 25 head in the bunch.  They sort of trotted off about 75 yards away, kind of milled around (could not smell us) for about 5 minutes.  I took more pictures. 

Wind shifted, they ran about another 75 yards and stopped again... 

Some were very pregnant.  Did not see any horn growth on any of them, so assumed just a herd of cows.. (did see horn growth on another elk later that day)  have pictures of that bunch too...

That's one of those looks you hate to see but nice to see in a photo.
