EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Alberta, Canada's breathtaking National Parks, the Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) makes its grand appearance during the autumn season. This majestic bull elk, with its impressive antlers adorned with snow, is on the move, signaling the start of the rutting season. The elk's powerful presence is a sight to behold, as it roams through the golden autumn foliage, its muscles rippling with strength and agility. The Rocky Mountains provide a picturesque backdrop to this scene, with their rugged peaks and valleys creating a dramatic contrast against the vibrant autumn colors. The crisp, cool air of the season adds an extra layer of magic to the moment, making it a truly unforgettable experience. The elk's antlers, which can weigh up to 14 pounds, are not just a symbol of its power and dominance, but also a testament to the harsh conditions it endures throughout the year. The bull elk's antlers grow and shed annually, with the new set growing in the spring. The rutting season, which typically lasts from late September to early November, is a critical time for the elk population. During this period, the bulls engage in fierce battles to establish dominance and attract females for mating. The bulls emit loud bugling sounds, which can be heard for miles, adding to the excitement of the season. This photograph, captured by renowned photographer Ken Archer, perfectly encapsulates the raw power and beauty of the Rocky Mountain Elk in its natural habitat. The image transports us to the heart of Alberta's National Parks, allowing us to witness this magnificent creature in its element.
