Clash in Sheep Lake RMNP - The interpretive ranger was about 1 minute into her talk about behavior during the elk rut when 15 cows came running at break neck speed being pursued by a large bull toward Sheep Lakes. There was another bull in East Sheep Lake with a harem of 15 cows. Within another minute there were two bulls and 30 cows and the clash was underway. The ranger quietly stepped aside and let the crowd interpret the scene.
