Sparring Roosevelt Elk

Species: Roosevelt Bull Elk | Location: California, USA

By Tom Blandford

This shot was taken in Northern California. These two satellite bulls sparred for several minutes in front of a large tree. Vertical crop was used because I was shooting between two trees in the foreground and needed to shoot past them...which I couldn't accomplish effectively in horizontal mode.
