4. hahahahaha

Man-O-man the chicks do rule Yellowstone in September. They have their men fighting over them.

28. LOL! K&R

34. And the Ft. Worth police are just arriving on-scene...

FoxTV cameramen and soundmen are all over the place.

Both buffalo wind up getting hauled downtown, and female buffalo has to be dragged off of one of the patrol cars while screaming about what an asshole the guy is to be getting arrested when they have a new baby at home!

2. Oh! What wonderful pictures!

I am envious. Thank you for sharing them.

[MichaelHarris]

6. Thank you

I have so many to edit and a few rolls to develop. I still like film but I'm leaning towards digital a little tiny bit. It doesn't smell as bad.

3. Great shots. Thanks.

[MichaelHarris]

8. Thank you!

I know I shouldn't waste bandwidth but a little beauty makes the daily mess a little better.

7. You took those!?!

I assumed you jacked em off another site.

How did you get so close?

They are beautiful.

[MichaelHarris]

10. Oh no

I never jack photos, LOL. Mine get jacked sometimes but I don't care, I just enjoy sharing them. This day's shoot got weird real fast. I'm usually very safe around the animals but I knew these two were going to go at it over the females.

I put a big wooden park sign between me and the herd and used a 300mm lens and a monopod so I could run, not that it would help. They went at it and a park ranger showed up and made the cars move. One of them was mine and the fight was getting close to my car so my wife started to drive off. I'm left standing behind a sign with 4000 pounds of beef going at it. Luckily a van drove up and I got behind it until I could get to my car.

13. Glad you got out safely to report back to us.

Priceless! :-)

[Ghost in the Machine]

27. "Mine get jacked sometimes but I don't care"...

Is it ok if I use them? I think they would make some cool backgrounds and possibly some "comment" graphics if I put some Native American prayers or proverbs on them. I'll give you credit for the photos. It's not hard to put "Photo By Michael Harris" in one of the corners...


I also just wanted to kick this thread for those who haven't seen these magnificent photos...

:kick:

9. WOW!

It's incredible that you caught that. That's probably the most energetic those bulls have been since they 'got busy' last year. Awesome Pics!

[MichaelHarris]

11. LOL sandnsea

there was a lot of getting busy this year, the rut is in full swing. I swear I could hear porno music in the bushes.

[Thothmes]

24. Isnt Testosterone wonderful

[Catherine Vincent]

14. is that the female sitting over yonder waiting to see who gets to mount her?

I know that's why they were fighting.:-) Those are wonderful. You should send them to your local paper. Sometimes they print digital pics from locals.

[MichaelHarris]

18. I think that was one

of the females. I sat yesterday on the Madison River and watched a bull elk use his horns to push the cows back across the river. When I took a closer look at the photos I saw marks all over their hind quarters from either that or "boom chicka bow da chicka do wa boom".

[lligrd]

15. Such Magnificent Creatures

They really are beautiful. If only our leaders could solve problems so simply. * and Saddam could have just boxed it out. Enjoy Yellowstone!

[Thothmes]

25. How many of the cows would have been the reward to the winner
