Various bull elk. Pictures taken during the elk rut in Jasper National Park, September 2023. First time I have been back there since before the pandemic. First afternoon/evening there, only saw a lone female elk, but the next 3 days were more bountiful for photo ops. This is just sample. Hope you enjoy.

Wow, these are a real treat to see, Gordon!

I've been photographing some nice White-tailed bucks recently. I thought those bucks were impressive (and I guess they are) but they can't hold a candle to the ones you shared here.

What a great experience that must have been for you. I'm eager to see more!

Thanks Kim. Elk are one of my favourite animals to photograph. They always give you some interesting shots, especially during the rut.
