Bull trying to keep the girls happy. We were fortunate enough to see this guy in velvet twice. Now we saw him trying to keep the g irls in line.

The grass on his antlers is pretty cute! Elk can be difficult to frame when they mix in a herd of cows. The out of focus cow and the bottom right is a bit distracting in this case... this is a good attempt - keep working them!

Nice looking bull- even with his party hat on. :roll:

Looks like a tough place to shoot- but if you don't press the shutter, you'll never know what you missed. And sometimes you don't get what you'd hoped for....

Pretty entertainning hat. Unfortunately the OOF cow and the awkward crop are quite a distraction. You might try a tighter crop around the head and rack to emphasize the camo grasses. I'll bet this was fun to watch.
