“Hey, pretty lady! Get back with the harem.”

This cow tried to wander off from this big guy’s harem but he was making sure she knew he expected her to stay with the group. I didn’t see much rut action this past weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was mainly bulls guarding their harems without any others challenging them directly. Nevertheless, it was awesome to get in some quality time in the high country.
