Incredible rutting bull in Estes Park tonight

[jjohnsonElknewbie]

After catching dinner at Wapiti tonight (food was fantastic) we got the show of our lives from around 30 cows and calves, a rag horn, and a giant herd bull. He got so close to our car I bet we got bull snot and drool on the hood. It was unbelievable!

Too cool

My wife and daughter have a new appreciation for why I love them so much. They were within arm’s reach out the window.

Beautiful.

It used to be wild in mammoth (yellowstone). Several herd bulls with
cows screaming, running around, posturing.
I drove up once and there was a big 7 on the road who was pretty
snorty. I stopped about 40-50 yards away to watch and take pics. A
ranger drove up and we chatted. He said "be careful, he's gotten
5 cars so far".

Of course, that was before the wildlife experts imported their big
shaggy pets.

Now you're lucky to see any elk there.
