A longer look into the elk rut. This bull works on his pee bed, pauses as he hears a distant bugle, then answers back with one of his own. It’s fascinating to watch them during the rut. #estespark #foryoupageシ #nature #elk #bullelk #rut #wildlife | Colorado Wild Photography

The sound of September It's that time of the year when elk begin their migrations and begin looking for mates during the rut (breeding season). During the rut, elk bulls may fight, bugle and protect their harems (cows & calves). This time of the year also means elk bulls can become agitated if any other animal, object or person appears to pose a challenge. Always stay far away from all wildlife! | Colorado Parks and Wildlife
