Steve,

I spent a lot of time with your wonderful photograph when it first appeared. I, of course wanted to see the entire antler rack. It's amazing how soft the covering of the antlers seem to be. What a bizarre way of choosing to select males for mating, fight with these and then discard them!

Did you manage to snag some wider angle shots too?

Thanks for sharing!

Asher

Here are a couple of more images of the bull elk. The first shot at the same time as the OP and the second in late September during rutting season.

Still in velvet.

During rut the velvet is now gone.
