If you have never heard an Elk Bugle..give yourself a treat and Youtube it... It is far from what you would think of as a bugle...but rather a very eerie whistling feedback kind of sound...

this old boy was definitely in rut and what a massive rack.........the sound of an elk bugling is amazing to hear while in the mountains, unfortunately that was not the case here however still a magnificent animal.

I was crouched in the grass along the bank of a mostly dry stream, photographing this nice bull elk. The session lasted several minutes and my focus was totally on the bull...until, a cow elk appeared in the camera viewfinder. She was no more than three feet away. She was not aware of my presence for a moment. Then she looked right at me and just calmly walked away. One of those nature moments I won't forget.

A big bull Elk pauses for a cool drink from the river. He had a cow and calf just to the right, out of the frame. I was within charging distance, with no choice but to sit tight and impersonate a rock. Which I did. Along the Athabasca River in Jasper National Park, Alberta.

North American Elk (Cervus canadensis), an exceptionally large and tired bull relaxes on an isolated ridge off the road and has a good scratch!!!
He was the last bull elk I photographed on this unbelievable four day photographic trip to Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada this fall.
Fortunately, this park is less than a four hour drive from where I live in Edmonton and I can frequent it often.

The annual Elk "breeding season" is fiercely contested as to who well be the "he-bull" of the heard.

Virgil Talmadge McCroskey (October 5, 1876 – September 14, 1970) was an American conservationist who spent most of his life in eastern Washington. He created two state parks on the Palouse: Steptoe Butte State Park in Washington and McCroskey State Park in Idaho.
Born in Monroe County, Tennessee, McCroskey was the ninth of ten children born to Joshua Philander Theodore McCroskey and Mary Minerva Gallaher McCroskey, who moved from Tennessee and settled in eastern Washington in 1879 as pioneers and established a homestead near the foot of Steptoe Butte.[4][5]
McCroskey arrived in Washington at age two as a child; Steptoe Butte was his playground.
He earned a degree in pharmacy at Washington State College in Pullman and in 1903 purchased the Elk Drug Store in Colfax, the facade of which still bears his name. Although he never married, during this period he raised two orphaned nieces and a nephew. McCroskey inherited his parents' farm in 1910 and retired from the pharmacy business in 1920. He spent the next few years traveling the world; he also drove all over the West, visiting national parks.
