The elk, or wapiti, is one of the largest species within the deer family, in the world. The bugle of a male elk is an unforgettable call of the wild that, once heard, leaves little doubt of its strength and authority in the Canadian wilderness. This magnificent species is highly vocal at times, but more so during the fall rutting season, when the bull's loud cry reverberates across the landscape.
