Title: A Few Close-Up Mule Deer and Elk pics (pic-heavy)
Post by: Cameroo on January 04, 2014, 01:56:10 am

My wife and I are spending a few days in Banff National Park in Alberta, and today we ran across some of the local wildlife.  These animals are in close proximity to people on a daily basis, so I was able to get quite close to get some nice pictures.  At one point I was about 10 feet away from the mulie, but the elk were a little more cautious, so I had to use a zoom lens.  Enjoy :)

Hey, Buddy! I figured you were away somewhere! Have a good holiday and give me a shout when you get home. Nice pics, by the way!

I almost hit a muley like that this morning! He was standing in the middle of the highway on a hot scent and he really wasn't interested in moving.
