Solitary Tracks - Elk By Daniel Smith

Solitary Tracks - Elk by Daniel Smith

A lone bull elk in the focal point of this great wildlife art print. He is blazing a trail in the newly fallen snow. He just crossed a small stream that is still not frozen over. Wildlife artist Dan Smith lives out west and has elk that winter on his property giving him great inspiration for his awesome artwork.

Dominant bulls follow groups of cows during the rut, from August into early winter. A bull will defend his harem of 20 cows or more from competing bulls and predators. Only mature bulls have large harems and breeding success peaks at about eight years of age. Bulls between two to four years and over 11 years of age rarely have harems, and spend most of the rut on the periphery of larger harems. Young and old bulls that do acquire a harem hold it later in the breeding season than do bulls in their prime. A bull with a harem rarely feeds and he may lose up to 20 percent of his body weight. Bulls that enter the rut in poor condition are less likely to make it through to the peak conception period or have the strength to survive the rigors of the oncoming winter
