No Photographers, I Mean It! _DEK1980a

            Best viewed large.  All rights reserved.  This is what a mature herd bull looks like just before he lowers the boom on the photographer...I was walking slowly through some openings in the forest and, noticing a low tree branch swaying up and down, realized I had just happened onto a bull raking the tree during the height of the rut.  Almost immediately this bull came around the tree in an attempt to cause me extreme pain but I had already slipped behind another tree for safety.  Antlers came down on both sides of me with only the tree separating us.  I decided to crawl under a heavy cement park bench/table for better protection just as the bull lowered his antlers on the table...I was safe but he did not like hearing my camera shutter working and kept me under the bench for several minutes...I think you get the picture...these guys are very unpredictable even for someone who studies their behavior...be safe...you never know how much trouble other photographers and campers may have caused and aggravated the wildlife!
