Bull elk appears ready for the rut

Bulked up, velvet off and this big 6 x 6 boy is ready to rumble! While he was hanging out just above timberline when I saw him, he will be making his way to lower elevations soon. There, the bucks and cows will gather and he will fight for the right to have his genes carried on to a new generation of elk. As one of the biggest bulls in the area, there is no doubt he will be a contender next month. Have a fantastic #WapitiWednesday.
