The dominant bull in Lone Elk Park grazes and walks his herd to the lake for an evening drink. The bull that finished second limps away to lick his wounds. A park ranger said the losing bull is exhausted because he'd just lost a fight for supremacy. He'll go somewhere and rest and tomorrow, they'll be at it again, the ranger said. (Harry Jackson Jr./P-D)
