Pronghorns, deer, bison and other ungulates in the wild...

Glad you posted this cool picture and here is as good a place as any ... but I had to laugh, contrasting it with a Pronghorn. And now since I'm here I'll post a pic that demonstrates why shooting is often exciting. Without the photo my memory of this fun experience would be faded away!

Rocky Mountain National Park today. No elk to be found.
M6 II EVF with 70-300L @300 1/800 f5.6 ISO 100. Feels like a much better fit handheld than the 100-400L and best of all it fits in the camera bag.

Was shooting a landscape in Rocky Mountain National Park with the M6II when some dear approached, walking within several feet of me before they crossed the road to get a drink. Fortunately I had the 1DXII/100-400II/1.4xIII nearby from a previous stop.

Checking out the road and the photographer.

Photobombed.

Looking both ways.

A nice stretch of the Big Thompson River for fishing.

House bound, I figured I'd go back to by first 6D shots since I took so many and hardly looked at many; that was in 2013. Taken just outside my yard, maybe 5 minutes walking. The moose tend to be somewhat transient rather than hanging around. He walked close to me directly across a very small creek to drink and I had too much lens. :(
