I made a trip to Yellowstone in early June, 1997. I was driving towards Yellowstone Canyon when the car in front of me pulled over to photograph a herd of bull elk grazing in this grassy open area. (The elk tend to segregate by gender in spring, so this was large group of about two dozen male elk with full racks.) The driver got out of his car and handed his camera to his wife. He then proceeded to walk out to the herd, not to get a photo OF the herd but rather, to get a photo WITH the herd. He walked up to this large bull, threw his arm around it and smiled for the camera. I don't know what photo his wife got, but *I* got a great shot of him sprinting down the road while being chased by a dozen elk. It's in one of my photo albums someplace. One of these days, I'll scan it and post it for everyone to enjoy.
@kannafoot I would love to see that one Ron. that video was crazy,I can not let my husband see it because after our encounter with moose in Canada he is not that keen on me being a wildlife photographer anytime soon :)
