Look at that Headgear
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
I had to use my telephoto lens to get this picture of this bull elk in the Cataloochee Valley of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. But those antlers were just begging to be photographed.
Photographing an Elk is something definite on my bucket list. Love you totally appropriate title. Your last few photos are simply gorgeous and I love the gold leaves and red leaves. I tried to catch up with you and Betsy and Neal - looks like it was a terrific trip. :)
Those antlers are magnificent! God did some spectacular things with HIS creation, didn't HE? However, when you look at those antlers, does it make your neck or head ache thinking about carrying all that extra weight?
We have a couple of family's of deer that travel through our yard each morning & evening & they are just amazing! Some of the Bucks antlers look like this....Again! God is just AWESOME
I like to have a telescope lens when I go to the bush and take photos.
Here in New Zealand, they organise Americans to come on expensive helicopter deer hunting. They say they can't do it in USA, so they don't mind spending lots of money to hunt the red deer here.

WOW! John and I really enjoyed this photo George.
Well done ,beautiful species
I have taken the picture of a bug with antennae that resembles your deer horns.
Great shot, but hope you were in the CAR!!
WOW!!!
amazing to see him and wow on that spread of antlers, he must be very old to have that many that big. wish i could SEE him
I would say from the size of this elk, you had better use a lens. He is really a big one. My son would loved to have seen that. He is avid hunter.
A magnificent animal!
Wow...hope the wind doesn't knock him over!!! Great shot George!!!
Magnificent animal - great picture!

Wow, he sure has a rack.
Nifty shot George.
From the title, I was expecting a photo of me at 15 with all my braces!
That guy is quite impressive.
He is amazing! Don't the females have braces, too?
What a thrill to spot such a big Elk. Nice shot with your telephoto, George. Its the kindest way to shoot any animal.
Quite a rack, to be sure! Great shot, George.
What a shot! It's fantastic to get that close to wildlife anywhere!
Great Bull ELk!

Good thing you have a telephoto. He's magnificent, but scary too!
Wow! He is huge and so is his headgear.
