Description

Wildlife photograph of a single, impressive, mature, 10 point, bull elk bugling during the rutting season with a purple flower hanging on his antlers. This bull is really stepping up his game by bringing the cows flowers to impress them with. If that were not enough, he is also serenading them with a song by bugling. How can the ladies resist that? What's not to love?

Photos like this don't come around every day. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am glad I decided to go shooting and witness this. For me, this experience was extraordinary.

Addendum:
After several research attempts, the purple flower is actually a Missouri native weed called Joe Pye Weed. Joe Pye was a native medicine man and used the weed to cure typhus, kidney stones and urinary tract complications. So it sounds like it fights bacteria. Interesting tid bit.
