Looking for the ladies! 🦌 It’s rut season, with all the drama you'd expect. Bugles echoing as bulls challenge and show off. And the females? Pretending not to notice. It's nature’s soap opera, elk edition and we were here to see it all.

🐘 What's up with Republican elected officials?
On one hand, they demean gays & drag queens.
👠 Yet they delight in wigs, make-up & hosiery.
