Herd Bull turns His Harem

Ponca, Arkansas

Big herd bull turns his harem away from the road in early AM in Boxley Valley. Herd Bulls keep their harems compact to enable protection from other bulls. In this image the bull is compacting his harem that had become diffuse while grazing. Shot in thin fog and relatively low light at ISO 2000 f 5.6 (wide open).

That's a massive Bull, Michael, and a fine wildlife behavior photo. Vote.
