    Elk photos and questions

    I was in Yellowstone in June and photographed a lot of elk. But I now have some questions about determining the sex/age.

    In the first attachment, I assume it's a bull that was born last year and is just starting to grow antlers. By the fall, he would be called a "spike bull". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The last two I have no idea about. You can see that there is a small bump/space for antlers, but there are none yet. Have they just not started to grow yet? Or is it a cow?
