M-2016.9.18#105.3. This was my favorite bull of all time what an eventful day this was. I found him beyond the closed area tending a cow in heavy timber. When she took off she brought him right past me. I could have touched them with a fishing rod. Denali Park Alaska.

  • M-2016.9.19#240. Unusually wide antlers. Eight mile, Denali Park Alaska.
  • 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.
