  • This elk is about to do battle to protect his turf. I will be a major fight, horns bashing and elk grunting.

  • He was not happy to have his nap disturbed and raised his head with a disapproving look. He is the largest elk I have ever seen. The colors certainly blends well with the surrounding forest.
  • The crash was furious. The fighting continues, the determination building and each taking stock of the other. Back and forth, pushing and shoving they go. They back off for a moment, look at each other and strike again.
