Rut is Over-Canadian Rockies

We live on the edge of a wildlife corridor. The other day I came home, and my wife told me to look out the window. There, at the back of our house, was a bull elk with full rack.

The woods have been echoing the past few months, with the sound of bugling bull elk. The bulls fight for the rights of mating with all the female elk. It is a wonderful experience to be laying in bed, the window open to let the cool mountain air in, and hear the bugling of the elk.

This bull rested for at least three hours beside our home. I then heard a barking dog, kids excited voices, and he was gone.
