Do bulls separate after they shed?

Actually, a bull may lay down and separate from the group for 24 hours or so after shedding but will be back in the group eventually.

I saw 7 bulls together all still packing both sides. 200 yards away from that group was another group of 8 elk, none of which had antlers. I figured they were cows and didn't really think much of it. Now I'm wondering if they were all bulls and half of them were shed? Anyone ever see them segregate after shedding??

15 bull elk in one canyon. I know where I would be hunting if I thought they were all bulls. probably even if I thought only the seven were bulls. :chuckle:
Doublelunger:
Interesting. I've heard from a few die hard shed hunters that sometimes they do separate. None the less I hiked into the canyon where I spotted the bulls and couldn't find a darn thing.

Saturday I had six bulls walking around together, 4 shed 2 still packing. Sunday morning same six elk walked away together, one still packing a now five that had shed.
