Them &#8220;Shaggy dogs&#8221; just suck me in every time! The challenge is always to get something new, though what &#8220;new&#8221; might be until you&#8217;re in front of them is often a question mark in the process. This was my first opportunity to photograph Bison with the D4, that was what I was going to start with as my &#8220;new&#8221; this time out. May in the Black Hills of South Dakota is a great time. Especially at Custer State Park where the Bison are dropping their calves.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DMLHDBN5830.jpg?resize=403%2C600&#038;quality=100\" alt=\"DMLHDBN5830\" width=\"403\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DMLHDBN5830.jpg?w=403&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 403w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DMLHDBN5830.jpg?resize=201%2C300&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 201w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/DMLHDBN5830.jpg?resize=288%2C430&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 288w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The herd is always on the move, even during calving season. It&#8217;s pretty simple biology, a whole bunch of mouths to feed and only so much grass. The system is pretty cool though because the Bison never mow down one spot to nothing. In a very generalized looking at a week of grazing, the Bison tend to be back at the same spot within 8 days. You could easily think of them as walking lawn mowers and the prairie responding to them like your lawn. It&#8217;s pretty simplistic compared to the color of them calves. I mean really, orange? They can walk almost seconds after birth and run within an hour, all to avoid predators. So you&#8217;d think with that evolution, they would have come up with a better color than orange. Photographically of course, the color is very cool. And watching calves, you can&#8217;t help but get hooked on Bison! On this morning, we were fortunate to be in the right spot as the herd, on the move came up a valley and rolled over the ridge and down in our direction at sunrise. It&#8217;s just one of natures&#8217; great spectacles!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shooting with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/838794-REG\/Nikon_25482_D4_Digital_SLR_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID4\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID4\" target=\"_blank\">D4 <\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/688212-USA\/Nikon_2187_AF_S_NIKKOR_200_400mm_f_4G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI2004004AED\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI2004004AED\" target=\"_blank\">200-400VR2<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/672202-USA\/Nikon_2189_TC_20E_III_2x_Teleconverter.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NITC20E3\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNITC20E3\" target=\"_blank\">TC-20E III<\/a> mounted on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/404536-REG\/Wimberley_WH_200_WH_200_Gimbal_Tripod_Head.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/WITHQRQ\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xWITHQRQ\" target=\"_blank\">Wimberley<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/846221-REG\/Gitzo_GT5562GTS_Series_5_6X_Systematic.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/GIGT5562GTS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xGIGT5562GTS\" target=\"_blank\">Gitzo<\/a>, I wanted to see if I could do some fancy zooming while shooting.

I needed to be shooting with more than one camera. When I do it again, one thing I&#8217;ll seek is permission from the Rangers to drop some GoPros out on the ground.
