Elk pictures from the weekend

I wiould love to know which of those pictures were taken with the 70-200. I was recently given a Canon 5D MK 3 with that same 70-22 f2.8 and I have been impressed so far. What kind of distances are those pics taken from?

Are you using a Canon or Sigma lens for the 600?

The only one I know for sure that was taking with 200mm lens was the elk in the dark timber. I think the headshot of cow was as well, if I remember correctly she was standing on side of road and took out the passenger window. You need to be close to use the 200mm for wildlife. With the 600mm lens an elk will fill the frame at about 60-70 yards (rough guess). Some are cropped some not. 200mm on a full frame camera is equal to around 5-6x zoom and the 600mm about 17x
