C-2006.9.3#020.2b. Always a special time when you can get to the top of the mountain ridges and get a subject back dropped by mountains below. This great bull is already wound up before the rutting season starts, going hard and grunting continuously as it passes Mary Lou and I. Denali Park Alaska. Along with the many problems salvaging images from old film stock, this one had really bad heat waves.
