Camera GPS 40 23' 33.48"N, 105 41' 17.82"W 11,332 ft.
In this survey: 3 bull 1 spike 17 cow & calf
During the rut, cows and calves form harems with one or two mature bulls. The bulls will be less and less social with their summer companions. Their antlers will darken and neck and hump may swell to twice normal size.
Journaling:
We stopped to put away our cameras for the drive home, and over on the far side of the valley, a half mile away, you saw the elk.
