Both dance demonstrations are open to the public and free of charge. A resident population may be seen any month of the year at the Klamath River Overlook. Pick a clear, calm day. They are seen throughout the parks, but primarily south of the Klamath River in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, Gold Bluffs Beach, along the Bald Hills Road, and in the Orick area. Males sport large antlers in late summer through winter.
Females are smaller in stature and have no antlers.
The rut, or mating season, occurs in fall. Calves are born in grassy, open areas in May and June. They are particularly dangerous during calving and the fall rut. Always observe them at a safe distance. Redwood Park Association, a non-profit partner in the parks' education programs, directs the seminars.
