While attending a week long photo class in Yellowstone we came upon a small herd of bull elk and this fellow had the biggest rack. Pentax K20D and DA*300mm f/4.

Only if we're silly enough to get too close or run towards them. Shocked We have to maintain a distance of 25 yds/m from most wildlife except bears and bison where it's 100 yds/m. Roll Eyes At one time I saw a woman run towards a bison with a child she was going to sit on it for a picture. Shocked I didn't stick around to see what happened. Cool

These look like they belong on the front cover of Field & Stream.  Great shots, Steve.
