Clarity and high pixel count when zooming in on subject is really good. Me and my pictures at my longest zoom is "fuzzy" at best! :D

Saw this big guy about 2 miles from the house 8-1-2018. This is about as close as we've seen them. I thought all of them were in the high country. He must have been lost.

It seems that more elk have moved back down from the high country. It seems strange seeing them in the middle of summer. They are usually in Rocky Mountain National Park and around Estes Park around 10,000 feet elevation.

Maybe not enough food up high. Nice looking herd. Thanks for sharing.

They sense the weather is changing to winter and move down to warmer pasturing.
