Does that taking place in early August when they are all buddying around (there's 6 bulls in this lil pack) mean he is easily grouchy and territorial? Or is that a normal thing?
What was the context or what was going on when you heard it? I am very curious what was being communicated, but also am wondering if it offers insight on if this bull is more susceptible to being challenged.
The hissing seemed more like a challenge to the other bull to f*** off. Same with a spike that came into my cow calling followed by a bull who chased him off and hiss/grunted at him. Ive had this happen to me a few times to my advantage.
Do you know how we can find Mom?
My interpretation is that it was territorial. I am not too good with elk, so maybe the reason for this is that fact, but I haven't run across any other hunters in the field in this unit or heard hunters. *Caveat! I also haven't heard too many elk so I very well could be too disruptive or not in their hood*
There is always a Peking order in all family groups regardless of species. Yes this goes on all year long. If you ever been around a grumpy old man that mumbles and huffs about kids. That's what is going on here.
When they’re too little to bugle, that’s the sound they make. Go look for his daddy that’s gone through puberty.
