This photo was totally not what I was after when photographing this bull bison. His other side was completely caked in mud that he had rolled in and it made him look totally awesome, if not a little dirty. I waited until the sun lit the scene which was when he decided to turn around and show this side. While he still had some dried mud visible, it wasn’t as impressive. With the breeding season over and these bulls alone again, they’re mostly focused on feeding in preparation for winter. I spent the previous day waiting an hour for a bison to lift it’s head and began to think this guy wouldn’t cooperate either. Well, he didn’t. After the sun came up and he turned around, he slowly walked into the trees not to come back out. Oh well, until the next the opportunity.
