Description During the rut, bull elk need to defend their harem of cows from other bulls. The larger and stronger bulls are better defenders and therefore have larger harems. They are able to pass on their superior genes to more offspring through this system.

Dude this is awesome! Its interesting how healthy these rutting elk look now, compared to how scraggly they will look in a month or two.

Great find! I think I'm gonna go up in 3 weeks or so the Madison area to try and find lots of bulls in the rut.

i saw these guys right as I was leaving the park, it saved my trip. I had a great time even though i didn't see much wildlife. it gave me plenty of time to do some hiking. i am going again next month for fall break.
