That's what I thought he was saying, when he raised his pointed head, and stared me down. This was taken in Yellowstone, some years ago. The Elk, Bison and Bear are a fairly common sight, through various areas of the park.

Doug, you must have a treasure chest of photos. Thank you so much for finding this one. Such an exquisite capture of this massive and powerful animal. Your title suits this perfectly.

Because Yellowstone is a NP, does this mean that the animals are a bit more tame? Used to seeing tourists....I mean that is one large Elk!
He must have been on his way to the outhouse.

What a wonderful caputure in everyway. Darned if his expression doesn't go with your title perfectly. Thanks for posting a great picture and giving me a smile to boot.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

Hi Doug, oh how I love this one!! What a remarkable photo you have presented to us! It is hard for me to imagine the photo opportunities you have at your disposal in your vast Canadian environment! The large massive animals, such as this awesome Elk, bear and others must afford you much entertainment! You are a terrific photographer Doug, very talented and we are lucky to share in all of this with you! I have enjoyed the pleasure of looking through your gallery today and am amazed at what I have seen! You have some lovely work on display! I plan to visit often, Sincerely, Marilyn
