The Gallery - Cow Behavior and Vocalizations
"The Gallery" puts you in the field - in the HERD - so you can observe and listen to the animals themselves, and learn from the very best. With just a click of a mouse, you can be in elk country any time you want!
Designed to help maximize your comprehensive learning opportunities, "The Gallery - Elk Edition" provides hours worth of multiple video sequences showing wild, free-ranging elk, naturally interacting with one another. From cows interacting with their calves, to big, screaming herd bulls defending their harems, "The Gallery" lets you feel like you're a part of it all!
Like all of Roe Hunting Resources materials, behavioral contexts, interactions, and vocalizations in each video are identified, and explained, from a sound biological, behavioral, and scientific standpoint.
