Bull Elk – Rocky Mountain National Park There are four weeks I look forward to each year, roughly from the middle of September to the middle of October.  As the temperatures become cooler and daylight decreases, the season signals the elk to initiate their annual breeding cycle (aka the rut) and elk photography is absolutely [...]
