Several bulls in Moraine Park were tussling over the cows. The clacking of the antlers was incredibly loud, even from a distance.
This was earlier in the day from the previous post, one of the dueling bulls is the same animal. It was overcast which was good because otherwise it would have backlit!
Mk2, 300mm f/2.8 with 2x, cropped about 20%.

Nice action Cindy. I like how the one in the back has his head cocked slightly, observing the conflict...

I like this - I also like that you kept the Elk in back sharp enough as to not be an OOF distraction. Very well done.

I agree with EJ and Dennis, a very nice shot. The bull in the background is a nice addition. He almost looks like he's thinking about battling with these two next year when his rack is a little larger :wink:

A different take on the normal shot of this behaviour Cindy, good catch of the action and the inclusion of the third Bull is a very nice addition. 8) 8) 8) :)

I like the image Cindy originally I was thinking of isolating the fighters but this is far superior.

The head turn on the far animal makes it for me. Congratulations!!!!!
