A Fun Video Seen on NBC, June 14, 2009
..... although there are a lot of elk, or wapiti, in Estes Park year around, most of this video was probably taken in the Rutting Season, Sept - Oct, 2008. During the Rutting Season, the largest and healthiest bulls gather their harem for mating. They bugle loudly, beginning with a low, resonanat sound and ending with a high pitched squeal. Even more dramatic is the sparring with the other bulls who may try to take cows from their harem.
