Wildlife Safari 1-11-2011

Today I had the amazing experience to fly with the States Biologist in the Highway Patrol Helicopter. The purpose was to count Elk and Moose. We flew all day in many different areas up Provo Canyon, Wallsburg, Daniels Canyon and Heber. I was up close to hundreds of Deer , Elk and Moose. The highlight was the ride. Here's a few photos:
