    Spikes here, with his antlers still covered in velvet, thought he was man enough to still the ladies off a 7 by in the meadow. He was ran out a few times and left as unworthy at the end :)
    He still hung around in hope. There was another bull that came and got all the ladies, in a very close to body engagement ritual that we witnessed. We don't know what happened overnight, but our 7 by 7 had all the ladies back when we left the park. Spikes still didn't score :(

    Fabs you have captured some wonderful moments on your trip, this being one of my favorites. I am really looking forward to my time in December with Dale!! All the colors on this one just mesh soooo well.

    Nice one Fabs. :) He looks energetic, and his expression fits your description... I'm sure in a few more years he'll have his own large harem... ;-)

    Super light and comp Fabs. Great info. He'll get his chance. (looks like he'll not be lucky for a couple of years though).
