 This was taken during our road trip through Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Arches, and Mesa Verde National Parks, as well as through Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, and back to Missouri to Jenn's parents house. All in all we put over 5000 thousand miles on a rental car in two weeks. I don't think that Thrifty knew what they were doing when they gave us a car with only 12 miles on it to begin with.

So this guy was laying down in Yellowstone and was drawing a crowd who were all impressed by the large velveted rack that he has.

My wife loves this shot and I do think it is different without the full rack being in view, but I am afraid that it won't speak to the voters. I told her that I would get dinged because half of the rack is out of the frame. Oh well, such is life I suppose.

My prediction is a 5.4.

This would be better if it showed both sides of his antlers, and if was a little less sharpened his hair looks as if someone has drawn lines with a comb. 6
