Like most wildlife the coat on bison looks the best in winter or spring . In the summer they shed out large chunks of fur and look quite shabby. A snowy background also isolates the animal better.
The fellow at left is a large bull that challenged our snow coach for the right of way near Yellowstone lake . After a game of cat and mouse with the driver he finally yielded to our 10,000 pound snow coach. I shot him looking rather defiant while hanging out the window of our snow coach.
TIMES
Unlike most wildlife bison are active throughout the day. They use their large head to plow the snow and dig for forage. The above shot was taken at a focal length of 250mm on a full sensor camera.
LENS & FILTER
LENS: 70-300mm focal length for a crop sensor or full frame camera.
