The Elks are out and about these days. It seems like the males are getting possessive.
The pictures where shot in Estes Park at the golf course along Fish Creek Rd., by the two lakes when you drop down into Estes Park
The larger of the two elk had a harem of ladies around the corner and according to some other people, he had been running smaller bulls off all day to keep them away from his girls. Then this 6X6 bull decided he was going to challenge the bigger bull which was a 6X7 with more body weight and he ended up getting his butt kicked. The fight lasted about 7-8 minutes and then the loser made a mad dash out of there with the bigger bull right on his butt. We were up on a road about 60 yards away. It was quite exciting watching and listening to their antlers clash.
