Yellowstone Elk

Grandfather delivered on the elk as well as the bear. It was the first two weeks in October so the elk bulls were still in rut. So we heard many bugle calls of the bulls.

It is not so much like a bugle as sort of a " ah ah ah eeh eeh eeh oo oo oo wha"

There were lots of cows and yearlings in small herds in the valleys.

So after wandering the countryside looking for elk we encountered this fellow when we stopped for lunch at Mammoth Springs.

So what are these elk watching. We will find out next posting.
