Yesterday’s sighting was a first for me: a bull elk with a full set of antlers.

What a grand and striking figure. Thanks.
Where did you spot this fine fellow?
Susi, if I were to post the answer, someone would probably shoot it by this evening.
That’s a depressing thought! Best to keep it a secret.
Don’t get too close! Bull elk [wapiti] are VERY aggressive during rutting season.
Ron, we stared at each other for perhaps a half minute and then he wandered off into the brush. There was a stretch of water between us, so I wasn’t threatened.
Did you have any trouble getting him to pose?
B, chuckle, when I spotted him, that is how he was standing.
thank you Alistair.
This is a real treat
Wow! What a great week.
Sarah
A truly handsome fellow.
