tripod

I first saw his magnificent head ornament as he grazed with two smaller bulls at late dusk. Then I saw the short hind leg and knew it was “tripod” a bull elk I’d heard about and seen in a recent newspaper photo. I chose an ISO of 1000 to make a few images of him on August 21 in the minutes available before darkness came to the meadow.

    Hello, Con Daily,
    You mentioned a newspaper article above on Tripod. Did the paper mention how or when Tripod lost his leg?

    Thanks,
    Lou

    No Lou, I’ve been asking the same question but haven’t found anyone who knows. – Con
