even before it can be seen a sure sign
of autumn echoes across the high country
it’s just such a haunting beautiful
incredible sound with Dawn’s approach
the years emerged in the growing light
engaged in a timeless ritual the bowls
are hbu going to claim their territory
and to keep other Bulls from challenging
their dominance over a harem this time
of year life renews itself in Rocky
Mountain National Parks elk herd this is
their mating season all weekends are now
one of the busiest times at Rocky
Mountain National Park so busy that
Ranger spend most of their time dealing
with people instead of wildlife some of
the problems that we have to deal with
our people trying to get too close to
the elk despite a picture-perfect
setting getting the shot here requires
as much patience as film I’d love to be
out here without a bunch of people but
you know it’s it’s so neat everybody
wants to come in everyone wants to come
and experience it peaceful out viewing
experience is usually just a short hike
away and worth the effort
during mating season bull elk constantly
prepare for battle confrontations that
occasionally prove fatal during this
time period the Bulls will challenge
each other for the cows and this
particular Bowl challenged and
apparently he lost losing usually means
little more than being chased off by a
larger bowl okay now let Logan hit see
this young woman with the small rack
he’s kind of moving in he’s gonna try
he’s coming down from behind him up
there so what’s gonna happen with him
well he’s just he’s just hurt us yeah
he’s just hurting his cows together
they’re separated from these other guys
I’m just going to try to in the fading
light there is the hope of being
thrilled by the call of the wild one
last time it’s a pretty good spot you
can tell the hoofprints in the dirt they
come by her regularly with darkness
closing in the people are finally gone
and at least for now the elk of the park
to themselves their songs carried across
the Twilight heard only by the mountains
