*** About Bull Elk: A bull elk, scientifically known as Cervus canadensis, is not just an icon of wilderness, but a vital component of the ecosystem. Typically found across North America in forest and forest-edge habitats, these large mammals are best known for their impressive antlers, which can grow up to four feet above their heads and weigh as much as 40 pounds. These antlers are shed and regrown annually, indicating the animal's health and vigor. During the fall rutting season, bull elks are known for their distinctive bugling calls, used to establish dominance and attract mates. Conservation efforts continue to play a crucial role in maintaining their populations against challenges such as habitat loss and climate change.
