As the sun started to set on our last day in Yellowstone we were checking off the last couple of locations on the literary. We had just left the Lower Yellowstone Falls area when I spotted a mother deer and two fawns. We stopped and watched. Then from nowhere this humungous elk came strolling along next the road. I couldn't believe it. I started shooting at 200mm and continued to snap photos as he walked closer. When I was satisfied with what I had I was down to 90mm.
