My cousins, uncle, aunts, mom and grandfather took a trip up to Estes Park to see the elk. It's mating season and the male elk duke it out for the women. The males "bugle" which is a funny noise they make to attract the females or scare off other males. 
Later in the afternoon around 20 or more were gathered in the meadow. We watched as one male was trying to figure out how to cross the street and get past the cars and people to try and steal some of the females from another group. Here's a pic of one of them bugling. They stretch their necks out. Check out his antlers. (He should be able to keep the other males away.) And here's a picture of me and my mom.
