Photos of Arkansas

Sometimes it’s really all about timing.  I had been doing the usual, running up and down the Boxley valley trying to get a shot of a larger bull during the rut.  I had almost caught a fight, but they decided better of it at the last minute and walked off.  I had heard this bull (one of the tagged animals in the valley) bugling over and over and finally I headed over.  He had quite a harem but they were not really interested in him.  The herd of cows would slowly move away and then the bull would run around them and get them all bunched back up.  Then he would move away and bugled over and over.  I wasn’t sure what he was wanting, but this went on for over 30 minutes and during the whole act, no one else showed up to photograph which is even a more rare event.   This photograph was taken in 2 landscape hand held pans to get then entire view into one photograph.
