While the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park were garnering most of the attention during their rut, the deer were preparing for their own annual event. This handsome fellow and another good-sized buck were tailing a small group of does. He was quite an impressive fellow as he made his way along the hillside. The two bucks were getting along at this point but battles were sure to ensue in the coming weeks.
