Setting a steady pace and conserving energy provides Elk the stamina to outdistance any stalking prey. Unlike Deer, these regal, impressive animals display a warrior disposition, both unyielding and steadfast. In mating season, bull elk make a loud whistling noise that attracts females and challenges other males. When mating season is over, Elk congregate with their own gender. By forming a herd of the same sex Elk has comfort, strength,safety, and the opportunity to leave competition behind. The medicine of Elk is about brotherhood and sisterhood, stamina and standing in your power.
