Most bull elk have lost their antlers by this time of year. On April 16, 2005 Bob Landis spotted a few that were still holding on to their racks and set up his camera hoping to get video of one of them shedding an antler. None of them lost an antler while he was shooting but he was able to capture the "last dance" of the season as two of the bulls squared off to spar repeatedly.
