American Elk

​

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains lives North America's most majestic animal--the elk.  Elk are herd animals and live anywhere from the harsh high-desert to steep, densely forested mountains.  The bull (male) elk is famous for its unique bugle--a high-pitched roar that can be heard during the rut(mating season) to attract mates.  Bull elk get very big (700 pounds) and stalking in close is quite the rush!  Just as Native Americans have hunted these animals for thousands of years, now you have the chance to do the same. This is a truly iconic American experience.
