It looked like 8 or so back in the brush but only 5 would eventually come out into the open, I didn't see any horn but I was just chompin at the bit to practice.

So you pro's Pope,Phool,Bone,Elkman,Ricochet & others Fire away!!! I allready know what I did wrong on some of these and for everyone else out there let me tell you this is not as easy as these guy's make it look!!! I took 90 pictures in 10 minutes just to get thses few marginal shots before some lady stopped with her point and shoot and got out of her car and yelled " Oh so you have the fancy big lens!!!" :bash: That ran them right out of the field in a hurry!
I made them bigger and added this one ~

Who taught you how to resize those? They are a bit small. Try 800 pixels wide.
Hey, you are in the game. Now it's about getting out and doing it.

They look good. But next time try to get photo's of the ones with horns!!!.......... :chuckle:
I hear ya I am just getting started and I needed something to shoot to start playing with Photoshop, uploading, hearing advice ect ... This was my first time out ,I'll be looking for better subjects in the future ... I guess Cow elk are not all that exciting for most people. :dunno: I was excited, but then again I prefer Elk over all other big game so maybe it's just me.

Dang, those jungle elk are dark!
What lens do you have Ray..
E
It's a Tokina 400mm ... I will have sharper pics when I get a bit more expierience. You can see on a couple of the that my focus was set on the Elks rump and not the head so the butt is in perfect focus but the head is a bit fuzzy. That's why I said it's not as easy as these guy's (Pope,Phool,Elkman ect...) make it look! Aslo the first two on here I took without a tripod because I started to draw a crowd and I thought they would bolt before I could get any pics at all, Once I got a few I set it up and got a bit better results ... I have a long way to go I'll just need some more practice!
