I hunt elk in the national forest mountains of colorado, Its a yearly family traditon. I have gone for 8 years in a row, and have been blessed to harvest 6 elk. My question is, What does a baby bull elk (from the privious spring) look like in the fall? I see very few elk and never herds of them, just little groups of 3-5, and i have never really identified what a baby bull looks like. I have shot a calf before but it was not really small and it was a female. Do they have little "buttons" or do they grow spikes as 7 month old calves? I have seen spike bulls, but never a "button bull". Sound silly but i am just very curious. Thanks.
