This ram was incredible. I'll call him Roman because his nose is broke. From a side view it is a huge roman nose. A real fighter here. The flies were bothering him bad.

Your going to have to let me tag along on your next trip, Im getting a really nice big piece of glass this week. ;)

Here is another one of some more velvet...lots of velvet. Got this one at 7AM this morning just as the sun peaked over the mountains. Elk experts, what does that middle elk score? (it's got to be somewhere between 350 and 400, but I have no clue. I can tell you he looks bigger in all the other angles. His fronts are weak)

Still trying to decide on the D3 or D300 for the new body. Leaning really hard towards the D3 for the low light / low noise ability, and of course the 35mm censor size.
Need to post up some, just been very busy. was at the MotoGP races in Laguna Seca 2 weeks ago and shot over 4000 pics, then my 80-200 2.8 decide to break on me. almost had it fixed till it fell off the table on to the floor. :bash: :bash:
By the way, Love the Ram shot

Elkman, I would definitely go for the D300. The crop sensor really buys you that added magnification. The 200-400 on a D3 would be too short. I never needed more than iso 800 this weekend for wildlife. You like doing landscapes though, so the D3 is perfect for that and general shooting. I don't know.
Maybe I'll have some time tonight to post another one...

They do tend to get a little fiesty if you start shooting those critters I suppose. :chuckle: Looking forward to the next shot.

I wonder if I could get close enough to a deer with that in decent light to get a good picture. :)
I don't think you would have to leave your house to do that.

Here is another photo of that elk. They look so impressive when they are in velvet. When I first saw it I thought it was a 400" elk, but now I've come back to reality. His royals and main beams look short. Looks like he was wallowing also.

Juvenile bald eagle flying over me.

For you deer guys, a couple big whitetails. One is a 3 point and the other a 4 point. They didn't stick around long...

One of my favorite photos of the trip. Right before the sun went down this pronghorn decided to use this weed as a scratching post. I got about 20 shots of him scratching his face. It was a good catch.

Well, after posting these 8 photos that leaves 2099 more photos to post in the future... (including some gagger mulies)

If I can recall a quote from you back during my journey last Dec, "Freshman girls in HS didn't tease that bad".
LOL. That does sound like something I would say. Here is a couple little tikes. Tony got all the pictures of the huge bucks. You'll have to wait until he posts them someday... ;)

Some of my favorite photos aren't of huge muley bucks or rams. (although that helps...) Here is a couple more I like. The baby deer is my 3 year old daughter's favorite.
