Dana, you really have a serious talent for wildlife photography and might want to consider this as an alternate career, your photos always have that touch of natural action that pro photographers strive for. That is one fine bull and just what most of us dream of.

[BillyBull]

Outstanding bull and great shots... (as Pioneerman asked) would you share what camera and len(s) your using for your shots... also interested in how close you were able to get for the shots as there great.

Glad you guys enjoyed the pics. As for my camera, it's a Olympus SP-590UZ. Nothing fancy, just a point and shoot camera. I was about 20 yards from Big 7. Having a good subject who's familiar with ya is a bonus. I was a good 200 yards from the broken 6. He wasn't so photogenic. Don't blame him though as there was a big wolf track in where he was. The camera has 26x optical zoom but I still had to do some cropping on the broken 6 pics, thus the reason for the poorer quality.

Here's some pics I took this last month of another bull from the same herd.

Mark,
The Big 7 wasn't the orginal target of yesterday's photoshoot. I was actually trying to find a Big 6 that I saw about 2 weeks ago. Was right at last light and he didn't stick around long enough for me to get a good picture of him. I'm hoping I can get some quality pics of him sometime this winter. He's pretty damn impressive.

[waistdeep]

Before my life ends on this earth, i want to take one like that....

[BCrams]

Love the 3rd shot the best! Great bull Dana.

[Alpine85]

Great shot's Steve, hopefully see some of you and the kids holding elk tine in the future.

[MattB]

Great pics as per usual! Definitely gonna have to find that bulls sheds this spring!
