Ummm Don....and what else could you possibly refer to when looking at a 3 foot rack. You've got me thinking though...stack, sack, pack, back, I give up :-)

Bill....I must be slow this morning....what are scrapped antlers?  Your talking to someone who only shoots with a camera...LOL

Morning Toula....Those are some big antlers, aren't they.  Because of the time of year you can see the molt, but he's still a beautiful animal.

Thanks everyone for the great comments :-)  Taken in Alberta Canada June 1997 and scanned from a print with some enhancement in PhotoShop.  Glad you all like this magnificent endangered creature.

Mary...yes he is in the molt stage, but still I find him beautiful.

Hi Debi...they do look rather heavy.  Wouldn't it be fun to find them out hiking, those I would keep :-)

Myrl....you are so poetic, they absolutely look like graceful fingers engaged in a mythical dance

John...it was either Banff, Lake Louise or Jasper...I can't exactly pinpoint it, but I'm thinking Jasper.  Would love to go back.

Debe....It would be wonderful to get paid for this, but alas competition is as stiff there as in our business.  Nonetheless, you saying so is always worth a big smile :-)  Thanks so much!

LOL @Lou....I wonder how much an 800mm would cost.  I do tend to get as close as I can without spooking the animal.  If I don't feel fear or intimidation, it seems the animal doesn't either.  I don't take stupid chances...but might push the envelope a little more than most :-)

Thanks Craig....coat rack LOL

Thanks Laurie...not to bad for a scanned print is it :-)
