The view from where the elk were, I dropped in this valley, crossed it to the next ridge, dropped off that and crossed the next valley and then crested the far Ridge and stopped at 4.33 miles and then came back

I always enjoy seeing the sage grouse photos posted by @mtmiller, and I have often thought that I would like to photograph them myself. Unfortunately, the nearest lek is over 1500 miles away. When I heard about a rooster who had taken up residence at a local bank, it hit me that fate had given me a substitute. 😀
