Default Bull Elk Color Change?

While hunting elk in NM last year I noted that the bulls were noticeably lighter in color. They had a very blonde color which stood out among the cows. Is this common in other states. I don't recall ever noticing it on bulls I've seen in Colorado. Is it a rutting thing and only prevalent during rut?

Life begins where the pavement ends!
