During the rut the bulls will do a paralell walk or dance, sizing each other up for size before engaging in a fight.
Serious fights are usually by bulls of similar size.
The sounds of elk antlers crashing together is one of those wilderness sounds you will never forget.
The fights can get quite agressive. The bull on the left has 3 feet off the ground!

During this fight the bulls got quite close to us and I don't think they ever knew they were being watched.
