I like the attitude in this one. Nice setting for shooting these prairie creatures.

While this buck did not let me get close, I got surprisingly close to some others. This one is a dominant bull in control of a large harem. About half the harem crossed the road right in front of me. Some stopped on the hill next to me. I had a 300 2.8 with 1.4x extender (on full frame 5D4) and the extender made it too tight to get in the whole group. They were so close I would have been better off with a 70-200. Later in another area (with cattle ranches) I found the bachelor herds. Two bucks with huge antlers (bigger than this guy) I was able to shoot almost frame filling shots with the bare 300 and no extender.Jack Douglas said:MrFotoFool , nice shot. I'm guessing you weren't able to get too close.
