Feeling flirty; Roosevelt elk in western Oregon

A large bull Roosevelt elk check the sexual receptivity of a female cow elk on a hillside near Elkton in rural western Oregon on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2021. The  courtship signals of elk involve vocalizations and fighting between males. The bulls will often also coat themselves with urine “perfume” to attract females.
