The Elk in Rocky Mountain Park During Rut Season

ByRhonda

For those outdoorsy nature-loving people who would like to view elk during their mating season, one place to go is Rocky Mountain National Park during the months of September and October. The males stick their neck out and make an unusual bugle sound to intimidate rival males and to assert dominance over their harem. Bull elk become highly territorial, aggressive and unpredictable at this time.

Now mind you, the bulls want to attract female elk – NOT humans who fail to respect safety rules.

This is a photo of a visitor who found out how to do two things: get injured and then cited.
