Elk Battle Pics!

Some may have seen these already, believe these were taken in Yellowstone? Maybe someone can confirm for sure?

Amazing pics nonetheless...

Great photos! I've seen bulls fight like that a handful of times over the years, and it's absolutely amazing how violent the fights are. They knock down small trees, and really cover a lot of ground back and forth while they are pushing. It's very hard to photograph since they are moving so fast and over such a wide area normally.

I've seen these pics quite a few times and from what I've heard these were taken somewhere in Idaho. Not positive, but that's the story I've seen told. These are awesome pics! I can never look at them enough! Thanks for posting them!

Proutdoors and I were on a mountain in southern Utah a few years back scouting for elk, when all of a sudden it sounded like a train coming through the trees...we snuck in, and watched 2 bulls tear a clearing to shreds fighting each other. The two herds were circled around the bulls watching and the cows were going nuts...chirping and almost bugling themselves...It was a scene I'll never forget.

Watching two big bulls fight live is an awesome feeling. Last year I watched a 411 bull come in and tangle with a 370 class bull. They fought for about 15 minutes, enough time for me to get my hunter into position for a shot at the big bull. They broke several 4 inch trees like they were twigs. When the big guy finally chased off the 'smaller' bull, he went over to a cow in estrus, tried to mount and was interupted by the bang of a 300 Weatherby. The shot was off, but the bull who just 'won' himself 20 cows, lost them that quick. We found his sheds this spring, 64 inch main beams! One of the coolest things I have watched on the mountain. That day with Wapiti67 was pretty cool as well, with all the vocalization from 50 plus elk.
