This morning there was a single rutting bull and his harem in Boxley Valley. There was no bugling. This particular location marked by the date 9/20. This location has been the site of bull fights in recent years. Those fights are most frequent around October 1 when the biggest bulls arrive to join the rut. For now we have the early bulls who seldom prevail in the fights and become satellite bulls around the edge of the herds. There was a nice crowd watching and photographing the elk this morning in light fog. Arkansas remains the best kept secret for photography and wildlife. We also have the most viewable elk herd in the south. This is a great destination for photographers.
