The key to photography like this is not spooking the animal. I kept a safe distance and basically stayed on a road that was nearby. He was very aware of my presence. I believe most accidents involving this animal are of people approaching too close and/or spooking them.
On several occasions he looked over at me to check me out... again, it was a very peaceful, comfortable encounter for both parties... until, of course, the 100 people showed up. :-)

Thanks.. I wouldn't do this type of photography without some "reach"... the lens used was a 400mm on my 1.6x crop camera... so it was at an effective focal length of about 640mm... so I was far enough away not to bother him.
Of course, as is often the case in Yellowstone, once people noticed me... .there was a crowd of about 100 people within 15 minutes...

We have a friend we call "Moose" but he's harmless. Very good capture and brave of you to be in the vicinity. ~~ Debby
