Grand old Alaska bull moose displays large antlers with lots of character

  • 41-2008.9.5#043.4XX. A super wide bull moose with unusual long shanked antler formation. This was his peak year, I got to observe him again in 2009 very near this same area but his antlers were declining in size. Near mile eleven, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 43-2009.9.16#069. A handsome Dall ram with classic mountain backdrop. Savage Canyon, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 45-2011.8.31#127. A grand old bull with lots of character stares me down. Savage country, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 47-2012.5.26#210. A Grizzly sow is cautiously leading her springer cubs up this Ryolite slide. Polychrome Pass, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 49-2012.8.21#259.5XXX. Two large bull caribou are sizing each other up with a sparring match. This is nothing like the fierce competition that will start in a couple of weeks. Denali Park Alaska.
  • 51-2019.1.17#055. Stalking Desert rams. Photo by my buddy Rick Ullery.
  • 53-2012.10.11#214.8XXX. A tremendous Barren Ground caribou. Heavy antlers with beautiful symmetry and great mass in the palmation of his tops. He is really cranked up, the "rut" is on. He is aggressively thrashing the willow brush with blood shot eyes and vocalizing almost nonstop. He belongs to the Nelchina herd of the Denali Country Alaska.
  • 55-An old bull Muskox browsing in Dwarf Fireweed along the Sagavanirktuk River. North Slope Alaska.
  • 57-1985.3.6#004. My first opportunity to shoot a Rocky Mountain Bighorn ram. Mount Margaret, Alberta Canada. Scanned from 30 year old film stock. See newer digital images of Wild Sheep in the Sheep section of this large Mammal Gallery.
  • 59-2009.8.28#118.11. What a lucky opportunity catching this great bull emerging from the willows with perfect velvet still intact. Denali Park Alaska.
  • 61-2008.10.14#231. A Barren Ground Caribou bull pauses for a portrait. Denali Country, eastern Alaska Range, Alaska.
  • 63-2012.9.11#159. This bull moose has lived for 16 or 17 years in Denali National Park. I've photographed him for many years and featured images of him several times before. I didn't think he would make it through the rough winter we had the year before, but here he is in good health tending several cows and very aggressively engaging and successfully warding off other bulls. Some larger then himself. This was his last year though. He was a warrior.
  • 65-2012.8.21#061. A really great Barren Ground Caribou bull. Savage Canyon, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 67-1986.10#57.A Mountain Goat nanny & kid. Scanned from old film stock. Tern Lake, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.
  • 69-2007.8.5#222. A handsome mature bull Muskox browsing in willows near Happy Valley on the North Slope of the Brooks Range Alaska.
  • 71-2010.9.4#277. A grand old bull moose. Tremendous antlers with palmated brows, deep wide palms and lots of points. Still feeding early in the pre rut. Savage country, Denali Park, Alaska.
  • 73-2010.8.25#031. A curious Grizzly turns to check me out. Alaska Range, Alaska.
  • 75-1984.9#101. A special day following Grizzlys digging Ground Squirrels. Stoney Hill area, Denali Park, Alaska. A 1x2 ratio format is viewable in the brown/Grizzly bear section of this gallery. In Mishio Hoshino's Grizzly book are images almost identical of mine from this day. The bear catching squirrel show would have been an all time special day, but my son Guy was with me and getting to spend the day with Mishio made it even better. He was a great photographer, but a much better human being. Funny and full of life and so full of appreciation for every thing in the outdoor world.
  • 77-1983.9#59. Dall Sheep rams. "The Trio" scanned from old film stock, has been a popular image for over 30 years. Savage Canyon, Denali Park, Alaska. Also viewable in a 1x2 ratio format in the sheep section of this gallery.
  • 79-1987.8.15#3101. A really great Barren Ground Caribou bull. This shot was captured many years ago near the mouth of the "Sag" River. They are scanned from old film stock. North Slope, Alaska.
