    Often the simple pleasure of being out alone with low expectations can still yield fine results. It’s the joy of the process that keeps us coming back for more, isn’t it?

    “Have a great time.” Words of wisdom to live by. GTNP is one of the best places to photograph moose. Keep up your amazing work.

    Hey Steve - It was a pleasure finally meeting you out in the field last week. I was with Jersey Mike and Dennis.

    As a photographer who mostly works in flat landscapes around London I really enjoyed the footage of the moose with the snowy Tetons in the background.
    Great to see you back.

    For me, I enjoy the "environmental" style images the best. I enjoy seeing critters in their natural habitat. Close ups are great, but it's those environmentals are where it's at for me. Living vicariously through your videos.

  • @flahertygamecalls
    @flahertygamecalls Před 9 měsíci +2

    This is a great video of how your persistence pays off! I truly appreciate you taking the time to remind us all to just make the most of what you have been presented with. The black and white still of the moose in that habitat is a fantastic image! Also, the back lit moose rack closeup is a very unique image. Thanks again!

    Well done! My wife and I had great luck at the same pulloff and like you, we were the only ones there. That was bad because it was cold and we locked the keys in the truck cab. Luckily our camping gear was in the bed/topper with a spare key. Sorry about the kids...

    I just returned home following a week in Jackson hole and the Grand Tetons,what a magical place it is.Not an abundance of wildlife but what I shot was more than enough.Big Grizzly crossing the Snake River at Oxbow Bend,moose,beaver,otters and elk made an appearance with a bald eagle on a perfect perch within 4-5 hours,so no complaints.will be back next fall to this piece of heaven.

    The lighting on the big moose was spectacular! Getting your feet wet is well worth it to get those photos! November sunlight is low in the sky most of the day which extends that golden hour!

  • @janm2473
    @janm2473 Před 9 měsíci

    Hi Steve!! I enjoyed this so much..... Two weeks ago, I drove south west of my city here in Alberta.. found a gorgeous mule buck in a yet, uncut field of hay.... took a couple of shots. Met the owner of the farm and he told me about the biggest bull moose he'd ever seen in his life, just north of where I visited him. I've returned several times, hoping to find something.. Love your videos; glad to hear your life has settled down and that all things are good... jan

  • @nleonard2758

    Great video, Steve! I really liked a number of the images, especially the backgrounds that you chose. I also really liked the antlers, showing that interesting progression of the length and depth of each of the points on the antlers. It was also wonderful to see the Tetons again! I hope that you and your family are all well!
