That's what would happen to any bull elk that would try to fight me. I'd grab the antlers and break his neck.This is a video of a different sort. Shows nature at work....
Muley Pursuit on Instagram: "Wow! 😳 Checkout this clip that Jeff Badelt captured of two bulls fighting - ultimately ending in the death of one of them. Where do you think he got gored at? #NatureIsMetal"

I'm thinking this one got gored, perhaps in the head. But I sure didn't see any damage, did you?That's what would happen to any bull elk that would try to fight me. I'd grab the antlers and break his neck.
I wouldn't gore it. I'd grab the antlers and twist, thus breaking his neck. I don't put up with mean elk.I'm thinking this one got gored, perhaps in the head. But I sure didn't see any damage, did you?
Both of the earlier videos I posted in this thread happened in Mammoth, in the large park area right in front of the hotel. Not far from there up the hill a ways is where I had my own personal encounter with a bull many years ago on the first trip I made to YNP with a fellow photographer.I wouldn't gore it.

Wow! That is a great photo though.Both of the earlier videos I posted in this thread happened in Mammoth, in the large park area right in front of the hotel. Not far from there up the hill a ways is where I had my own personal encounter with a bull many years ago on the first trip I made to YNP with a fellow photographer.
When I started shooting, he and his harem of about 20 cows were 30-50 yards away, but the cows kept coming my way. Finally one of them meandered over to me and stood less than 5 feet from me. The bull didn't like that one bit. He pinned his ears back and came at me on the dead run as I scrambled to get a tree in between him and me. I dodged behind a pine with about a 6" trunk, put my hand on it and stood back at arms length as he butted up against it with his antlers on either side just missing me. My legs were literally shaking, and I had to keep control of the two cameras strapped around my neck. We did circles around the tree for about 3-5 minutes until he just turned and meandered off.
It's the same bull in the photo (One Photo Per Day thread) that was used for the Browning safe. My buddy was standing on a bridge above us and took quite a few photos. He gave me one, but it's 35mm slide buried in my files somewhere.
That's when I learned to be really cautious around them, ie. give 'em room.
Another incident, same area. I posted this a while back in another thread:Wow! That is a great photo though.
That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen. WOW!Some cool footage. Make sure your sound is turned on.
Just more 'garbage' from FB.That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen. WOW!
A few. Some of those in that video are in YNP & such, as well as the usual suspects in Estes Park.Does Colorado have any wild elk?
