Two bull elk pass through a Boulder Valley yard on April 14. The elk on the right “had recently lost his right antler, so I was hoping his left one would fall off right in front of me on the road,” said photographer Dawn Smartnick, who said she has been following this herd for about five years. “I have pictures of my bachelor herd from last year, and he always seems to be the last to drop!” The next time she saw him, on April 18, he had lost the remaining antler.
