so you just get up really close to animals like that that are out in the wild or is there some kind of fence.

great shots.

A little of both in this set. The Bison is from the Safari Park - so they are fenced in although the have a lot of acres to roam around. The buck actually snuck up on me, the elk show up at the pond fairly regularly and the pelicans are actually fairly common in the area.

As always, nice shots. Love the young buck. He looks like one of his horns is warped?

I'm really captured by your "ely by the pond" shot! Really beautiful! I've only ever seen one elk around here, though we are supposed to have a lot.

Nice set, and really like that young buck shot. Don't let the Bison fool ya'. They are quite agile. I do know from first hand experience.
