Bull elk

[MontanaDave]

With the rut at it's peak, bull elk start spending more time in the open.
They still head into the forest before sunrise, but at least there is a 10-15 minute window with an uncluttered background to luck out in.
My lens is F8 at 600mm, so I need a subject with the background relatively far away compared to expensive 600mm F4 lens.

Good shot, it's a very important time of year for him ...
