A Boxley Valley Beast
I am starting a series called the Beasts of Boxley Valley which will focus on the really big bull elk. This big guy looks like a draft horse from behind. This is a crop, but still over 6MP and will make an excellent print. #3203

December Fight Between Two Bulls
Usually they are done by now, but these two decided to fight and give me the opportunity to shoot my first elk fight. This series is of 4 pictures ending with the moment of truth, where the victor pushed the loser down and pinned him to the ground. It was a wonderful experience to witness this. #2823

December Fight #4 -- The Moment of Truth
The moment of truth. This is the last frame of fighting. The bull on the right has established dominance in this battle by pinning the bull on the left down. Immediately after this, the bull on the left wandered off, and the one on the right returned to his her of cows. #2844
