    I have not hunted elk the last couple of years but I have made it to Rocky Mountain National Park with the camera. Here are some pics of a couple of bulls I took on Friday. Rut was in full swing.

    Awesome photos jackflap. I always enjoy looking at the pics you post here. Nothing like elk in full rut. Nice work.

    Why do you tease me like this Jackflap? I was out there for a week and didn't see anything, and you're just clickity clickity click with the camera all day long!!

    Don't you have any respect for those of us who are still trying to choke down their tag soup? What's wrong with you man? :)

    All kidding aside. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the comments.

    Photography is one of my many passions. I do more than just wildlife so I have some pretty extensive gear.

    Those pictures were taken with a Nikon 400mm lens, using a tripod for sharpness.
