Quite the herd there in the BG. I guess they are all the females. LOL. Excellent timing and wildlife capture, Michael. #1418725Gord MacEachern October 28, 2011
Excellent wildlife capture Michael, very well done!! #9767974Jack Gaskin October 28, 2011
WONDERFUL CATCH Missed a full blown battle by just a few moments while in YS and watched a Dominant Bull easily keep a lesser challenger from even coming close.
Was considering following a Large Bull back to the scene of a battle. Stomping through the low pines w/o much range of sight however was not a GOOD OPTION.
