About a year ago, I began thinking about how much I love to photograph the rocky mountain elk. That lead to me begin wondering how I could best convey my love for photographing these beautiful animals to you. Maybe, I could do a special blog post, or maybe just pick a few of my best photographs and speak about them. Or... How about all of the above!
This week is all about the elk. First, there will be a post every day on social media highlighting one of my elk images with a long description to go with each image. Secondly, a video will be posted and sent via email showing this years small trip to Cataloochee, NC and also highlight a few images from this years trip. Finally, I will have a special email this week talking about the behavior of the elk. I hope this all meets with your approval. If so, let's kick this off with the image below that started it all for me!
In 2016, I began to photograph the elk of Cataloochee Valley. This elk, only a young bull, that was pushed around and ran off, would one day take over a large herd. So it is with the elk. The strongest bulls become the king of the harem and rule, even if it is only for a season or two. It is his time in the sun.
