  • M-2016.10.1#027. This is the bull that recently ran the famous "Hook Bull" off and took over a group of cows near Kincaid Park . Little did I know that later this day I would end up right in the middle of the last real rut battle they had. The bull in this image gained the high ground and rolled the Hook bull right over in front of me. Hook ended up near downtown later this day. Anchorage Alaska.
  • M-2016.10.1#044. The moose that became the alpha bull of the Anchorage coastal forest for 2016. Anchorage Alaska.
  • M-2016.10.1#157. The "Hook" bull. This day was the only opportunity I ever got to shoot him. I came across him about half way out to the coast from a Kincaid Parking area on a brisk rut walk with Ryan Miller trailing him. I joined the pursuit, but somewhere in climbing the hills back to the area he was heading closer to the Kincaid ball fields I accidentally turned my auto focus off carrying my lens by the barrel. He never stopped and with the perspiration covering my eyes, I couldn't tell what happened till he slowed down. I got nothing but blurry memory's. At the end of the pursuit when he caught up with the bull that injured him previously, that was crazier then the jog he took us on. I was right in the middle of the fight that ensued. Sadly Hook lost again as you'll see in the end of this series of images. He was rolled over by the other bull and gave the submissive call. He moved almost all the way to downtown Anchorage before evening along the coastal strip.

  • M-2016.10.1#209. This was like the last second Hook was standing. The other bull was lunging as I snapped this, Hook lost his footing and they both almost crashed right into me. Anchorage Alaska.
  • M-2016.10.1#211. "Hook" heading away from the area for downtown Anchorage.
  • M-2016.10.1#235. The bull called "Hook" and my friend Ryan Miller. Back to beginning of this day when I intersected Hook and Ryan, he was trailing Hook. Most of the day after that knowing this animal as well as he did he anticipated and knew where hook was going the entire time and ran parallel or ahead of hook the whole day. It wasn't until here that I discovered my autofocus being off and got it going again. These were the only clear shots of the day for me but what an incredible time it was getting to be a small part of this event. Anchorage Alaska. See Ryan Miller's Explore Alaska Photography site for the most amazing images of Hook and spectacular Wild Sheep.
  • M-2016.10.1#242. Ryan leading Hook into the forest on the rest of his journey down the coast. For some really amazing images of Hook, many other moose and spectacular Wild Sheep images, look at Ryan Miller's Explore Alaska Photography Site. Anchorage Alaska.
