The elk rut is one of the most spectacular wildlife opportunities in the Rocky Mountains.

It's a great place to parade as well as graze. He can keep an eye on his harem, and he can see other elk coming.

They're basically trying to send off a signal ... look at me, I'm here.

That's a good question. I wish I knew the right answer to that.

The cattle and wildlife are in constant chaos at night. They cut fences, leave gates open, they kill snakes for food and trample paths.

I have deep roots here. It's going to be a great area for trails and wildlife.
