Never having seen elk doing much aside from resting on the side of a mountain it's great to see shots of them butting like that! Great shots skibum.
Thanks. It is Rocky Mountain National Park. First 4 are shot from Morraine Park, the others are from Fall River valley.

Thanks. It can still be a pain at 200mm. Its a bit short unless the elk are near the road. lol. With the fighting elk, even 400mm was pushing it a bit.
