This image was filmed several years ago on the Montana plains. I was lucky these elk were distracted with sparring. Because of this, I was able to inch a little closer in the fog. The aspect of this moment that wasn’t luck was getting to the location pre-dawn, which allowed me to have this area entirely to myself…and the sparring elk.
Sometimes, when I look at the image, I can still hear their antlers scraping and their powerful breathing in the utter stillness of time.
