Obviously bugling. Almost expect to see frosty breath coming from his mouth if that is ice on the grass. If not, perhaps toning it down and making it more green would be good. He is tack sharp and a beautiful specimen. Posted: 11/09/2025 18:50:09
That is frost on the ground. When we arrived at the location there was dense fog and the young elks were running around in the field. I waited for the frosty breath but didn't see it before it started to warm up, the fog lifted and frost disappeared. Posted: 11/09/2025 19:34:12
He's a handsome specimen! Love the action of his call. Nice lighting on the elk. Posted: 11/12/2025 01:41:17
