Tiger Shoot - Rocky update

[snidow]

It was reported in another thread that Rocky has passed on over the rainbow bridge. I for one will miss the big cat very much.

that is a shame I will miss him, but I have some great images of him

I'm very sorry to hear that. He definitely was one of my favorite. In fact I got to pet him the last time I was there. Never get a chance like that again.

Any info on what happen? He wasn't that old. If you don't mine here is my tribute shots.

Since I never got the chance photograph him, I wouldn't mind seeing everyone post their one or two best of him.

Awww, terrible news!

Here is one I took of him back in 2006.

One of my personal favorites from the day I got to photograph Rocky.

These cats are simply awesome and Rocky was my favorite.

Here's one from June 07



They said then that he was actually pretty old for a big cat.. and that he probably would have died years ago if he'd been in the wild.

Though technically it is not the greatest shot, this is one of my favorites of Rocky from last fall. The family dog was behind me during this shot and I don't think Rocky liked him very much.

How very sad, he was very sick last time I was there.

Man I am sorry to hear that, I wanted to go again this year but never had the time.

From Nov 2006

Some very cool shots of Rocky. Gonna miss the big guy. My favorite memory of him was when he sprayed a female photog in '07. She didn't think it was very funny, but I couldn't stop laughing.

Anyway, here are a few of my favs....
