Description


WELL ACTUALLY
I think This One
HAD 12 POINTS ON HIS RACK...?
(BUT!)
This Was One of The Most Beautiful of Four
ELK BUCKS WE SAW Just
Relaxed As Could Be Eating At The Side Of The Road.
This Was While Driving
Through Banff National Park on HWY 1A a Few Days Back.

Note: They Let Me Get Quite Close And I Remained Very Quiet.

Just keep rubbing it in Laura LOL. We didn't get this close until we got to Jasper. On your last trip why, is it getting that cold up there already? #9560258

Hi Ron! No, I meant our most recent car ride. It won't be the last trip of the year! :) This was taken two days ago, I think? We go "in" again today. :)

I sure hope your temps get more mild soon. I still can't get over you guys having 115*! TERRIBLE.

Well, Ron, you know which roads lead to paradise. :) Get back up here!

Thanks for the fun!

Would love to see one of these in the wild! If you're heading for bear country, make sure you've got a BIG LOUD bell! #9560681

Glad to see this buck was too engrossed in his munching to decide to have YOU for lunch, Pom! Gorgeous shot!
Have a great time on your latest adventure! #9562237

This is SUCH a beautiful image, SSSCWLala. And what a thrill it is. I remember how I chased the poor animals for three weeks. And I guess they're used to it :)
I love this one. #9562646
