The rut is on
« on: September 04, 2008, 02:07:11 PM »
Ok last night after work I went out to Meadowbrook farm in North Bend because I just had to see some elk.  The last couple of weeks the elk had been suspiciously absent except for a small group of about twelves cows.  I only saw about thirty or so elk and was watching a 2 by 2 when I started hearing a bunch of clanking off to my left.  Two nice bulls were engaged in combat which went on for several minutes.  The loser wandered off and I couldn't make out the rack on the winner but he looked big.  I heard several bugles while I was there and saw the winner bull chasing around the cows.  When the winner got closer I thought I was able to make out a whale tale so I think he was a 6 by.  I ended up turning on my truck and headlighting him when I went to leave and that pissed him off.  He started raking the ground with his antlers and was hurling grass all over the place and snorting at me.  I moved off before he planted his rack into my truck.  It was pretty neat to see.
