Elk
I was driving down a bush road yesterday on my way to work. Looking around, like i always do, i noticed an elk on its way up a hill to my left. I stopped to have a better looked, only to see it was a bull. I watched it for a few minutes, only to see 3 other bulls follow it up the trail !! My question is, what would 4 bull elk be doing together at this time of year ?

Elk are a herd aniamal, and the herd bull kick them out of the herd. so only he get to breed the cows. the herd would not be that far away though. good luck .

I don't think they are finished breeding. Also they were in B.C., so saying where they were would help any of us.

Newdrenalin the first rut is done and the second is mostly over, the satellite bulls will bunch up now for the rest of winter and leave the herd area which is most likley what you saw in BC , the herd bulls will also bunch up, and will be bulls of their size and leave the herd area so from now on you will see bulls in bachelor groups until July/Aug 2012. some of the older bulls in their last year will be by themself's and most likley not make the winter . as a group can feed better than one and survive wolfs/cougars etc
