Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 26, 2006 These boys were behind the house this morning. 13 total. I figure those with a bull elk tag would enjoy the velvet. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Wow, must have been nice to have bull elk in your yard. Looks like they stayed awhile too based on the one laying down! Thanks for posting the pics. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 26, 2006 They were all bedded when I first saw them, but I impinged upon their comfort zone to get closer pics in order to get trees and fences out of the viewfinder. Probably was 30-40 yards away. Had to leave Rica in the house as she would have been flushing them quicker than a running covey of Gambels. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dodger2 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 RR, Sweet pictures...reminds of my days living of off E. Mohawk behind the fire station off of Lake Mary Rd. We use to be able to sit on our back porch and listen to the elk bugle. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coues addict Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Doug I swear Doug, your pictures are always awesome, you should seriously thing about a sideline wildlife photography job. I need to talk to you about cameras and all that cool stuff. Thanks for the awesome pics. Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Rich, Back when I was teaching high school, and not enjoying many students, being a wildlife photographer was one profession I thought that I might enjoy more, albeit with less pay (less than a teacher's $ almost pays for the mac n cheese). But I do like to eat and have a nice German beer or two. Today's pics were almost snapshots and did not have time for a good setup or take time to set the depth of field as I scurried around the neighbors' houses. Tony Mandile has posted some nice professional pics, as has Tony Bynum over on Monster Muleys. He has posted some good camera and tech info in the photography forum on MM. I took these with a handheld Panasonic FZ-20 digital. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
