Young elk in Upper Beaver Meadows RMNP
These two young bulls, bothered each other for over an hour. Reminded me of a couple of puppies practicing for "grown up time". canon 30D with 100-400mm lens, image shot f9, 1250 iso, shot at 400mm.

Cute!
Don't reckon this type of behavior will last much longer.

Probably not, they were already play fighting, and the dominant thought he was pretty tough!

Interesting series! If you're gonna crop the last--crop the sides, not the top/bottom :wink:

Gotta love the young ones trying each other on for size. Nice shots.
