RMNP Salad Bull. This photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park during the elk rut. The male Elk bugles to attract females. This elk had dropped grass off his antlers on to his head.
A Bull Elk is very protective of his harem and domain during the Elk Rut. This Bull wanted to see if I was any threat to him and his harem. Thankfully he didn't think so.
This elk was without a harem of Elk does this morning. It sounded like he wanted to get back into the game.
