Look at the tremendous height of this bull's 6x7 rack!

This tall-tined 7x7 bull is telling every elk within hearing that he is "the old bull of the woods".

This is the only elk with a double main beam that I have ever seen; he has 13 points. His head is up and his lip is curled in a threat posture, telling another bull to move or else!.

Look at the dirt on this bull's antlers. He just got done scraping, and now he is bugling.

I caught this young cow looking for the rest of the herd.

I caught this herd feeding on the Firehole River in Yellowstone.

I caught this bull in a meadow at sunset, at just the right time.

I call this bull Hook due to the curve at the end of his left antler.  

Bulls often scrape the ground with their antlers when they get up.

I took a whole series photos of this bull tearing up the ground and throwing dirt and vegetation; this was the best one.

These 7x7 and 6x6 bulls are two of the biggest I've ever seen. They are participating in the parallel dominance display.

The 6x6 eventually walked away from this 425 class 7x7 bull.

These two 6x6 bulls fought for about 5 minutes. I only got the tail end of the fight on film.

Yearling Bull

I caught this tremendous 7x7 bull bugling as he left a meadow and headed for the woods at sunrise.

This 7x6 was pumped up with testosterone, and spoiling for a fight.

I caught these bulls in velvet resting in a meadow in mid-July.

These two 6x6 bulls just had to take a few more bites before heading into the woods at sunrise.

I never did figure out what this big 7x7 was looking at.

These cows spotted me, but not before I took their picture.

Moose

I caught this bull moose standing in a meadow in Yellowstone. He was joined by the lighter bull in the next picture.

This may be a parallel dominance display. Since the bulls are still in velvet, they weren't very aggressive.
