Antlers or no antlers

Like a lot of people, I am enthralled with a big rack, and there was this bull elk disturbing our sleep all night with his roaring and horny antics as he pursued his harem.

So, I was asked, why not post this gorgeous collection of elk cows - they're the ones who are assaulted in rutting season, who carry and bear the calves, and who feed them. I mean why shouldn't they get some glory. Look at them in LARGE.

This is where we live. Tell me if I made the right choice and if you are voting along gender lines. The Flickr collection has both.
