“Can you hear me now?” A massive elk bull sounds off in Rocky Mountain National Park this past weekend. Oh yes, I could hear him…

Oh yes, I could hear him and many other bulls bugling and ringing in the change of seasons and the beginning of the rut.

This big guy was having a bit of a rough go of it though. He had a harem of 20 or so cows and seemed to be living large initially. Suddenly over half of them darted across the valley to a competitor leaving him with a much smaller group of ladies. That of course didn’t sit well with him and he very loudly voiced his displeasure with pleas to them to come back.

Have a fantastic #WapitiWednesday!
