What elk do on a Friday...

Even though the elk rut is usually a frenzied time of year, on this morning, the elk in Moraine Park were all in their groups and all seemed copacetic.  One bull, though, decided he wanted a few more cows in his herd.  He walked all the way across Moraine Park and sized up his opponent.  It was just like a duel -- they walked side by side and then turned and faced each other.  After sparring for about a minute, the smaller one decided that maybe his herd was big enough.  The winning bull kicked out his front leg to let the "loser" know not to come back. He then strutted back to his herd. How fascinating to watch!
