(*gasp*)

The compo on these is amazing. To have actually seen that beautiful creature in that beautiful setting, I dare say I might have teared up. Thanks for sharing these pics.

Beautiful shots. I take it this is an un-hunted area where there is no pressure. Very nice shots. I head out to Colorado every few years to bring home some elk.

That first shot is just beautiful - the framing with the tree/leaves and the colors are stunning! Excellent image!

I was shocked at how large this elk was, that rack made me a bit nervous as I got very close to him.

I was in awe watching him, I had to put down the camera and just admire him.

This one I felt I had gotten to close, but he didn't seem to mind too much, he was just a tiny bit wary of me.

Correct the picture was taken in a park. A friend of mine just bagged an elk and promised me a steak dinner next time I see him. My friend watches the elk all year and picks the one he wants, come hunting season. The elk he hunts are smaller than the one in the picture, I guess there are two different types in BC.
