Normally I wouldn’t like the man-made stuff in the background of a photo but for this capture I actually really like it. The fence and wagon coupled with the big guy and the fall foliage look pretty near IMHO. It certainly helps that this bull was one impressive specimen to say the least. We sometimes call these creatures Wapiti, a word that comes from the Shawnee and Cree word ‘waapiti’ which means ‘white rump.’
