  • 81-2001.4#75. A large bull Sea Lion with his harem. Chiswell Islands, Alaska. Scanned from old film stock. A 1x2 ratio image is viewable with Marine mammals in this gallery.
  • 83-2009.9.4#163. A really great Alaska bull moose. One of the luckiest days I've ever had with the light & color. Denali National Park, Alaska.
  • 85-2010.7.23#046. A young Alaska bull moose with a goofy droopy antler. I can only guess was from an injury. Kincaid Park, Anchorage, Alaska.
  • 87-2011.11.10#006. A really handsome mature full curl Dall ram. Chugach Mountains Alaska.
  • 89-2011.4.15#231. A Black Bear sow. Not much food available, so they spend the day exploring and lounging in ground beds. Near Campbell Creek, Anchorage,Alaska.
  • 91-2006.7.31#0374. Two juvenile Brown bear siblings "horsin" around. Russian River, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. A 1x2 ratio format is viewable in the Brown/Grizzly bear section of this gallery.
  • 93-2008.10.4.c3. A bull caribou with unusual antler formation. Denali Country Alaska.
  • 95-2000.5#20. A great full curl Dall ram crossing a high ridge. Savage Canyon, Denali Park Alaska. Scanned from old film stock. 1x2 and 2x3 ratio formats of this same image are viewable in the sheep section of this gallery.
  • 97-2009.8.28#025. The white nose cow moose that wandered the Savage country in Denali for quite a few years. Denali Nat. Park Alaska.
  • 99-2012.8.21#178. A unique pair of really large mature caribou bulls. One still with unblemished velvet, the other completely cleaned off. Alaska Range, Alaska.
  • 101-1997.5#10. A very large full curl Dall ram with unusual corrugated rings on the boss of his horns. We could not figure out how these rams managed to get in this cube like place with steep shear walls thirty plus feet high on three sides and a sheer drop of more then fifty feet where I shot from. So, we called them the "hole in the wall rams". Denali Park Alaska. Scanned from old film stock.
  • 103-2011.9.12#099. This was the first year this large mature bull showed up in the Savage country of Denali Park. His antler formation was unusual and unique. He became very special and my all time favorite when he showed up every year after this until 2017. We recognized early on his antlers were very similar to another bull from years past that was known as the "eighty incher" and "Savage Bull". He didn't attain the same stature of the eighty incher but was high 70 inches wide with great full palms and really great palmated brows in 2017. Savage country, Denali Park, Alaska.
  • 105-BR2010.8.13#143- A Brown bear grazing on sedges works closer to us while scanning his surroundings. Enders Island, McNeil River. Alaska Peninsula Alaska.
  • 107-2007.11.16#121. Alaska Moose. Many of the moose that live near Anchorage in the Chugach range don't have the genetic makeup to produce full wide palms and palmated brows. They instead have 2 or 3 point brows but grow long heavy points on their antlers and sometime many non typical points and formations throughout their life. This old bull I was familiar with for over 6 years is a great example of that. Anchorage, Alaska.
  • 109-2001.5.30#401. A very heavy horned Dall ram. Chugach mountains Alaska. Scanned from old film stock.
  • 111-2009.5.15#102. Interior Grizzly bear. This bear paused for a brief second in a very narrow shaft of light,beaming through a hole in thick cloud cover as the sun was setting. He then vanished into the willows of the valley behind him. Denali Park Alaska.
  • 113-2009.6.12#106. A family group of Muskox along the Sagavanirktuk River, North Slope, Alaska. A 2x3 ratio format of this image is viewable in the Muskox section of this gallery.
  • 115-2009.12.4#100. A large full curl Dall ram still tending a ewe near the end of the rut displays with a "lip curl". Chugach mountains, Alaska.
  • 117-2009.9.4#133. Alaska Moose. Some minor sparring during the pre rut. Denali National Park, Alaska.
