Things fell into place very nicely for us as the sun dropped down where we anticipated, and there was a very nice orange tint in the sky as the sun set.

While I got several clear shots of him in the open, I think this one best emphasizes his stealthy hunting skills. I had to switch to manual focus to get the shot. I used a Nikon D850 at 500mm.
