Bull Elk in Velvet, Point Reyes National Seashore
I was out at Point Reyes recently. The male elk are all sporting new antlers covered in velvet. They’re also still shedding their lighter-colored winter coats. This bull was in the Tule Elk Preserve. He was in a group of … Continue reading
Bull Elk, Point Reyes National Seashore
I photographed this bull the day I photographed the badger. I’ve seen and photographed him before. He’s one of the Limantour herd that uses the D Ranch as part of its habitat. What’s nice about these elk is that they … Continue reading

A Lot of Bull
The day I photographed the peregrine (my last post) I also saw this big 7×8 point bull. He was with about 40 cows and calves a short distance west of the Drake’s Beach Road. I don’t like the background, but … Continue reading

This 7-point bull is the largest I’ve seen so far this fall in that portion of the Limantour herd that uses the D Ranch near Drake’s Beach. About an hour after this photo was taken I saw him again … Continue reading
Young Bull Elk Poses
This young bull poses beautifully in the afternoon light. I like to think he was practicing for when he will be a regal 7-pointer.
A Lot of Bull
This is the biggest bull I’ve seen on the south end of the Tomales Peninsula. He’s probably the sire of all the calves in that area. I’ve spent some time watching him and the other smaller bulls that comprise this … Continue reading
Bull Elk at Sunset
This bull was standing at about a 45 degree angle to the sun before it set. This made for some strong sidelight and backlight. He’s still wearing some of his winter coat. He looks very healthy, but I think he’ll … Continue reading
Large Bull Tule Elk in Velvet
This 6×7 bull is probably the largest one I’ve seen on the Tomales Peninsula. However, you won’t see him in the elk enclosure. He and four other bulls live outside the enclosure. They escaped some time ago and I don’t … Continue reading
