Living With The Elk

Spend fall with Film-maker Bill Grunkemeyer getting to know, close-up, the elk in a secluded part of the Rocky Mountains.

The techniques of watching elk are similar to those of hunting elk, and the natural events observed are memories that will last forever.

Get to know individual elk, learn how to evaluate the location and judge the wind so as to place yourself for the best view of elk.

Learn how natural events such as a change in the weather can affect the movement and behavior of the herd.

In demonstrating these simple techniques, Grunkemeyer lets you witness unbelievable events: the single-antlered bull defending his cows; the 6 x 7 bull taking over all the cows on the park; a dominant bull aggressively challenged as he tries to steal a rival's cows. The antlers crash and the dust flies as these two brutes battle for control.

This is a guide to watching elk, a pastime that can be every bit as exciting as hunting elk. It is great viewing for nature-lovers, hunters, hikers, and photographers, alike.
