The artist writes, “A mature bull elk during the fall rut is an awesome creature to behold - his bugle is a guttural screaming crescendo, letting all rivals know of his presence. Whether this bugle is meant for the female cow elk as a ‘here I am baby,’ or a ‘call to battle warning,’ towards other bulls is anyone’s guess. All I know is that I love to hear it! His scream will carry for miles, echoing from the mountain top and down through the canyons and timbers. It sends chills down my spine, and is incredible to hear.”
