"Frosty the Bull Elk"
It was a crisp morning during the #ElkRut. There was frost on the grass and even on the Elk. The sunrise added just the right lighting and captured a spot of light on his eye. #BullElk #FallColor

"RMNP Bull Elk Bugle at Fall Colors"
A bull elk bugles during the fall rut, wearing the grass from his wallow. Surrounded by tall meadow grass and autumn colors, this is Rocky Mountain National Park in full rut season. #BullElk #ElkRut #FallColors
@perryralph.bsky.socialThe Rut Is On!
#MonochromeMonday
"Bugle Boy in B&W"
September is the month of the Elk Rut in Colorado. A bull elk bugles to the impress the cows and scare off the other bulls. #Colorado #ElkRut
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialDon't mind me, I'm just here for the party and the hats...
@hiddenwilds.bsky.socialBull elk rubbing on a tree, leaving pheromones as cues to other bulls and cows and working on neck strength in Rocky Mountain National Park.
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialOne of the satellite bulls found in the pre-dawn light, alerting to a distant bugle. He was smartly keeping a safe distance from the larger bull seen in yesterday's post, but the larger still made a few threatening advances just to cement his dominance.

"Bugle in the Autumn Willows"
A bull elk sends his bugle from the fall colors of the willows in Rocky Mountain National Park. An elk bugle asserts his territory and draws elk cows during the rut season. #BullElk #ElkRut #RMNP #ElkBugle
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialPosting a bit later than usual today, as this early morning found me out enjoying the company of kings.
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialBoys will be boys...

@dankinghorn.bsky.socialA large bull elk in the rut!
@dankinghorn.bsky.socialIt's that time of year again! The Elk Rut!
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialStarting to get a little spicy out there...
@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialA little more action yesterday afternoon! As opposed to the more "playful" sparring observed last week, these two showed a little more aggression. The season is heating up, and the rut has definitely kicked off!

@jdphoto8500.bsky.socialYou scratch my neck, I'll scratch yours...
@jdphoto8500.bsky.social"Alright boys, I wanna see a fair fight. No poking eyes out and no hits below the waist. Let's keep it clean and have some fun"
I love these pre-rut sparring sessions... The boys were having a BLAST just grunting and squealing and pushing each other around...
