Bugle Bull
I went to a local drive through park near Montebello, Quebec called Parc Omega. I believe this was a hunting preserve, for the rich clientel of the Chateau Montebello, back in the day. Now it is converted into a 12 km drive through park.
They have wolves, coyotes, bears, bison, whitetailed deer, roe deer, elk, wild boar, turkeys, red deer, alpine ibex and fallow deer. The animals are in natural surroundings and are easily photographed, without anything hand of man, getting in the way.
This bull, that had just left his wallow, was walking along through the woods and I decided to try my hand at elk bugling, I seen it often enough on Wild TV. So using a rolled up magazine I bugled away. The people I had in the car and I were all surprised when the elk started to respond, all of this happening from 15 feet away. I have never been happier with my D3s and 70-200, I got a tack sharp image to add to my files.
I used Topaz simplify on this image and some minor cropping.
If your ever near the area this is an awesome place to photograph and generally the colder it is, the more active the animals become.
