brown deer

I was driving thru Fort Stevens State Park near Warrenton, Oregon when I spotted this bull elk. He was browsing next to the road, so I drove pass then slowly walked back on the other side of the road. He wasn’t disturbed, he looked at me and went back to eating. His still growing antlers are covered in velvet which protects and feeds the antlers as they grow. To learn how to take pictures like this, read my educational blogs at www.sharetimsphotos.com.
