This time three years ago, we visited RMNP and got to hear the bull elk bugling during peak rut season. One of the best sounds I have ever heard of wildlife! #elk #elkbugle #elkrut #bullelk #wildlife | The Roaming Richardsons

Cameron Hanes on Instagram: "It’s bulking season for bull elk as during the summer months they are focused on eating to put on weight for the rut (breeding season) and then if all goes well and they elude hunters, lions and wolves, the muscle they pack on now will help them survive the winter. @luke.dusenbury captured a healthy bull focused on the high country feed with this beautifully powerful video. Great job Luke! Such a magical moment! To me there isn’t a more iconic animal of the mountaino
