wow another great picture, Is this in the off season? also public or private land, and what state? great pictures, keep them coming...

That picture was taken on one of Utah's limited entry elk areas. It just so happened that I also had an archery permit and this picture was taken during that hunt. . When the bull came to the wallow I had my bow in hand. I looked him over close and finally decided to pass him up and just take his picture. It was later in the evening so the light wasn't the best, so I checked my camera to see what kind of pictures I was getting and when I saw one that I don't have posted here, I decided I better take him. I put my camera down and picked up my bow and turned to shoot, but in the meantime the bull turned and walked towards the timber, never giving me a good shot. I ended up taking lots more pictures of other good bulls, but I never filled my tag. I did get some great pictures and that was more important to me than just filling my tag.

dont shoot him when he is standing there eh?

Bill, Was this over one of your favorite Bear stands?
