Pack Your: Binoculars
Spot elk in rut at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, OK.
Bison may be the heavyweight wildlife attraction at this 59,000-acre preserve, but elk earn top billing in September and October, when the fall rut kicks into high gear. Grab your binocs to spy—from at least 25 yards away—bulls rounding up harems of cows on the Witchita Mountain Bison Trail (Trip ID 46997), a 5.5-mile loop through open country that traces two lakes and skirts a gorge with views of the refuge’s namesake peaks. Dawn and dusk provide primo viewing ops; listen for the bulls’ high-pitched bugling to locate the herds. Also keep eyes peeled for white-tailed deer, bobcats, rattlesnakes, jackrabbits, and members of the refuge’s 650-member-strong bison herd.
