Two bull elk passing at a dried-up wallow late September and early October. Although wallows are much more active during the pre-rut, they are still checked by bull and cow elk throughout the mating period. The first bull was definitely still on the search for a hot cow on September 24th.

When you're full of testosterone on October 10th during the moose rut/mating period, you must let go some of your frustration. Who knows what triggered this bull but he sure could not resist leaving his scent and displaying for us while looking for a cow.

The three musketeers Part II: with half the winter behind them, they look healthy and still well fattened up. It’s always a good sign to see them go through the winter without too much difficulty.

Bull moose with great fronts in velvet August 31st and back September 5th hard antlered.
Got lucky this time, someone tilted the camera but was not curious enough to take it down. My bet the culprit is a curious elk…

Turn the volume up and listen to the quality of the Boly Trail Camera sound capture. Two elk on the move during the September mating season. When youhave a powerful nose, you better stop and smell before jumping over that log.

Three different black bears on a major game trail in September on the search for food and to fatten up prior hibernation.

The same pack of wolves on the move from clip posted two days ago. Strategically placed a camera on this game trail at that log. Sporadically used but it sure has paid off over the years.

Pack of 8 wolves passing by one September 17 during prime elk rut. It's amazing to find out how all the pray animals react when these guys show up.

Mature bull moose with large fronts that came and left like a ghost. I never saw him again, I guess that's what happens when the rut is full on and you're on the look out.

Mother will be mothers no matter the specie, they will always stand strong for their offsprings. This young buck is learning he is not as welcome anymore.

Two average 5x5 bulls passing by. Noticed what's their focus, that's right nose to the ground looking for cows.

A rare scene of a majestic large antlered mature bull moose grunting as he approaches a cow to scent check her. Such behaviour happens when a cow is near her breeding window. Hopefully I can film their offspring in the future.

Beautiful sow grizzly bear with a single cub. Great interaction while covering themselves of mud on a hot day, sure helps to keep the bugs off of them.
Come summer time, who want to join them for a spa mud bath retreat?
