During the fall rut in Alaska bull moose move through the trees, grunting and sniffing the air for the scent of receptive cows. Their necks swell with testosterone, and they may thrash saplings or engage in head-to-head battles with rival bulls to assert dominance. I kept my distance, for the most part, as this guy zeroed in on a nearby cow. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 140mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.

That is a drop dead gorgeous image, Sean!
Thanks Sue. Moose are such iconic creatures.
Another fabulous Sean shot!!
Thanks Bill. I had such good luck with moose on this particular trip.
Wow what a shot!
Thanks Donna.
I love the off-center positioning of this grand moose! The bit of yellow fall foliage helps the eye wander through this gorgeous scene.
