Photo @ladzinski / A lone bull elk moving through the meadows of #MorainePark on a misty morning in #RockyMountainNationalPark. During this time of year an elk of this size has either successfully beaten out competing males during the rut and established a harem of female cows, or is pushed out. This guy seen here didn't make the cut. Once the rutting has ended large Bulls regather for the winter season staying within proximity of the large female herds. by natgeo
