Canon EOS 7DII, EF70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, 1/3200 Sec at f/2.8, ISO 125. Bison rut is on in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone Park. Bulls have rolling Pits they use to dust their bodies. A large bull can create a lot of dust while rolling.

That's the first exploding bison I've ever seen - pretty cool!

The texture in the dust is great, and I like the wide open eye too.

Really like the two feet sticking up out of the dust, and the wild eye. Great dust too.
