Nice shots. Gotta say that big bull makes me hungry
Have to ask, where are you that you can get shots of bull elk, bison, and tigers all in the same day?

The Elk and Bison were shot at the Wildlife Safari Park in Ashland, Nebraska. The Tiger was shot at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska.

Great stuff. That elk is gorgeous. But I think the tiger wins this set.

Are you sure there are barbed wire fences between you and the AMINALS? This could be a trick. I'm guessing you have some AMINAL whisperer skillzzzz.
Wifey does, and that means I would be the one getting eaten alive.

So wifey and I make our escape while your being mauled.

Hmm.. not seeing a downside here.. lol

No barb wire here, the Elk and Bison you drive through the area and your supposed to stay in the car. The bear and wolves there are raised observation platforms you can shoot from. Really is a great place to shoot, tons of great stuff there.

I love the elk shot!

Hmmmm, sounds like a bucket list item.
Years ago, way before my photography days, we had a similar place called Lion Country Safari.

Okay, I think I was the first to come up with 'Birdography'???? So what is Landscape and Wildlife? Does it depend on the subject? Elkscape....
If it was a hairy man would it be........Manscape?

Okay nevermind. I just googled manscape and came up with this manscape - Google Search

Seriously need to try the superman S, after I work on my abs with situps instead of beer next time.

Lol.. if it was a hairy man I wouldn't be posting it here, I'd be selling that to the Enquirer as a big foot photo.
