Yesterday I had to head to Cheyenne for work and as always, I was hoping to get a chance to photograph some of these speed demons on the drive back. Initially the ones I were seeing were too far for quality captures and I was losing hope. Finally, I came across a bachelorette herd of eight giving me the opportunity I wanted.

There were no bucks with them which was kind of annoying, but I was happy nevertheless. For a time, this pair stood apart from the others and as you can tell, they were well aware of my presence.

Of course, with eyesight equivalent to 10X binoculars and a 300-degree field of view, there isn’t usually much chance of you sneaking up on them. The ladies were curious initially but soon decided to run off as they are known to do.
