Bull Elk Herd, Boxley Valley June 2009
#72,363 Bull elk herd in the off-rut period of the year. Roughly from January to September in Boxley Valley. Usually the bull herds disappear to the upper wilderness, but this one is at the south end of the valley now. The biggest bulls are herd bulls, and just 3 months from now will be fighting fiercely for domination and breeding rights. Photographers interested in photographing these animals should visit my
http://arkansaswildlifephotography.com website for detailed advice on locations, times and other issues related to visiting the area.

Herd Bulls in Velvet, Boxley Valley
#72,332 A rare picture of large bull elk in late velvet. About two months of growth remains for their antlers. Usually they are dug in deep in our upper wilderness area. In this care they migrated down for an unusual opportunity.
