Yellowstone warns visitors not to get mixed up in elk mating season

It is elk mating season — and finding a partner could get dangerous.Yellowstone National Park warned visitors Friday that the season, called the elk rut, has begun and aggression could be turned toward humans passing by.The rut stretches from early September to mid-October, when bull elk “bugle” or call out to “announce their availability” to females and challenge competing males, the National Park Service said.
