[Hummer]

From Estes Park yesterday

Looks like he's bearly hanging on.



While scouting for moose today we came upon a beauty of a buck bedded in a stand of aspen. He was alert and looking at us, his high 6 x 6 point antlers shimmering in the backlit sunlight. As I dug a camera from my pack he trotted across through the meadow and disappeared up the hill.








Two minutes later another buck came running from across the meadow to stop exactly where the first buck had been bedded. He's a little younger with 5 x 5 points including brow tines. Note his right ear has been torn, perhaps in a bout with the previous buck.
