5 points of terror
Uploaded: September 21, 2009
I found myself in a dangerous situation. I was watching a couple bulls fight a couple hundred yards away when I was surrounded by 5 bulls. This 5 pt bull elk was 5 feet from me. Way too close for comfort. He actually bugled at me before deciding to leave me alone. What a rush! This shot is straight out of the camera with vivid color setting.
