Largest Bull Meets His Match during the Elk Rut

Elk Bull Fights are numerous during the Rut in Canada's Rockies, but this one was especially striking. Here is a close look at the Largest Elk Bull in this area.. first, a couple clips over the last month, before today's marathon fight with this younger rival. The younger rival has not been stressed near as much during the height of the rutting season, and clearly had the stamina to outlast one of this areas most dominant bulls today. The Bull that conceded defeat today has been the most dominant elk bull in this area now for years. This well known King has had to battle and run off rival bulls on almost a daily basis over the last month and a half, of which shows athleticism and genetics that are extremely rare. We suspect he decided it was more important to preserve his energy as very few cows remain in estrus. He did sustain some injuries here, but will likely be back to fight another day. More on Elk..

[@masukahmed3315]

Hi

[@LukaTisus]

This just proves what I said to my bud. Rack-size doesn't matter. It's strength and stamina. Could have a 5pt bull with a moderate rack be top dog in a herd because he can out-fight the older ones with the bigger antlers. The old bull in this video's downfall is his rack was too wide, he already got a pretty good injury on his neck by the look of it and the younger bull just kept getting his tines in there to keep jabbing at him until the old fella gave up. Even had one of his tines snapped off!

[@bigbelly3564]

Yeah, but it is a matter of luck that some of them get through and stab the other one...

In New Zealand about 60 odd years ago, they introduced Elk. They were out competed by red deer stags that despite being way smaller were more successful at breeding. For about 15 years there were some magnificent cross breeds and for the last 40 years no elk or Wapiti, only red deer
