Thats a lot of bull!
Looks like we might have a good selection of Elk to photograph during the rut this year. I ran into this group off of the Ute trail in RMNP.

I love the elk-in-their-habitat aspect of this shot, Don.

That's a nice group of bulls alright! Did you notice if any have started rubbing the velvet off of their antlers yet?

Thanks Todd. Guy there is no evidence as yet of any shedding occuring. I'll be checking it out over the next couple of weeks.

Elk may be common in this state, but I could never get tired of seeing or photographing them. I like this shot, because it's a great display of the elk in their environment. Very nice.
