Edition Size: 8 Artist Proofs

Our family eats mostly wild meat all year, and this requires that I hunt for elk every fall. It has been a tradition for me to drive to the Kootenay country to harvest elk each year. Last fall, after a good day hunting, we were heading back to camp when we saw a big old pine tree etched against a gorgeous sunset. I knew this would inspire a creative idea one day.

As I took different photos of the tree, it looked like the branches were many antlers of the great bull elk. It was so inspiring I could hear the bugle of hundreds of bulls over the many years spent in the wild enjoying the sights and sounds of the hunt. 

think the moon in late September will be the Moon Of The Bugling Bull Elk.
