Kentucky Trophy bull elk

The rut may last longer than two months. An individual cow is in estrus for only 24 to 36 hours. However, the estrus cycle of some cows begins much earlier than that of others, and cows that are not bred may come into estrus again 28 days later

 There’s no way to determine if tracks were made by a Bull or a cow. Either may leave drag marks. However, if the tracks are noticeably larger than other tracks in the area, chances are they’re from a Bull. 

How you track a Bull however is a common subject of a lot of arguments.  Very few people seem to have a skilled ability to track trophy elk.
