Reports filtering in from Pennsylvania's elk range tell that the elk rut is in full swing
For those accustomed to the ways of the whitetail deer the experience of the elk rut is nothing short of incredible. Whereas the whitetail bucks dash about, sometimes sparring, on rare occasion fighting and all the while keeping vocalization to a bare minimum the elk on the other hand are extremely vocal, frequently observed sparring and serious fights are not uncommon. Wrap up all of these traits of the elk rut together with an easily accessible and human acclimated herd in the vicinity of Benezette Pennsylvania and you have a winning combination for an outdoor experience like no other.
that's a beautiful photo! love the color in the backdrop, but the bugling bull is impressive!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Love the softness and coloring of the background, and the bull Elk is magnificent. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.This would be an interesting thing to observe.
ReplyDeleteWe so enjoyed being able to see this last year. It is indeed an outdoor experience like no other!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! The bugling really adds to it. Living in the state with the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi, I still don't get to see them often. Still waiting to be drawn for a tag, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Coy!
Gorgeous picture-shows thing sin action!
ReplyDeleteI would gladly exchange the wonders of my spring for the glories of your autumn. Wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow Pennsylvanian, I would like to venture eastward someday and capure the magic of the elk and their rut.
