More Information
Nature enthusiasts know rut is a three-letter word for sex and aggressive action. The fall phenomenon occurs when the thrilling whistle of a bull elk sweeps across the canyon; when lovesick bull moose curiously court dairy cows; and bighorn rams collide with one another with the combined force of 2,400 foot-pounds. One hundred exciting color photographs vividly illustrate this spectacular fall ritual and complement author Ron Spomer's descriptive text.
