Elk Out of Velvet

This last week has found the bull elk rubbing their horns to remove the velvet and expose their glory for another year. I saw five different bull that had cleaned antlers. Some were small rag horns and a couple, I would like to find in September or October season.
I have also seen large flocks of turkey out chasing the grasshopper. each group has at least 5 in it with the largest groups having 30 different birds in them. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can report that the bull are bugling their annual sounds. The fall bug is upon me, I am hopeful that i will use the up and coming long weekend to get out and check my local hot spot and get some pictures to go along with my typing.
