My Dad took Mama, me and Diane to Yellowstone one year. It was gorgeous! Our first day there was spent putting camp together and then Daddy said, "Go ahead but, stay within shouting distance." We took off toward a grove of Aspen Trees, still one of my favorite trees. We were very quiet, so amazed by the wonder of it all. We wandered through the trees until, we nearly rear-ended a herd of Elk, and I mean, we literally walked up right behind them in that grove of Aspen. We froze! The big guy in front of me was much bigger than the Appaloosa on my Granddad's ranch and he/she slowly turned around to look at us. Absolutely stunning, huge! Diane grabbed me and told me to slowly walk backwards, (she WAS older.) and as soon as we could, we ran like hell! BUT, we didn't tell Mom and Dad...
Is this "attack" behavior or "play" behavior? It strikes me morel like play. Maybe he thinks the Snow Mobile is some sort of fellow animal. At what point is it a good idea to sound the horn?
+RyeGrog1 Nature isn't the problem it's the idiot humans that try to pet wild animals or pose for selfies with them. These people showed exactly the right way to deal with wild animals you encounter.
The point I was making is people that get close to wild animals probably think they are like in cartoons. They have no concept the reality of nature. You misinterpreted my meaning.
Respecting the animal? They were stressing him out and showing him tremendous disrespect. You need to stay as far away as you possibly can so as not to disturb the animal's natural habitat. My son is a Yellowstone park ranger and he is always lecturing people about what a thousand pound elk can do to you, or a bison, or a bear. But people keep doing it. Stay out of the parks if you can't respect the wildlife.
It is possible he was about to shed an antler. That happens in midwinter, usually around February and they drop them one at a time. I saw an elk lose an antler in Alaska around 10 years ago and he was rubbing his antler on the ground, against trees, pretty much everywhere he could before he lost it. Actually I saw a number of deer and elk with just one remaining antler during that trip. 4:314:31
Playing? I was hoping he would charge that guy and punch holes in him. They were stressing this animal. You were supposed to leave wildlife alone. No respect whatsoever. He was not playing. He was warning them. My son is a park ranger and he is completely disgusted with the incredibly stupid people that visit the park.
These people are part of a bunch of really incredible clueless entitled people who have utterly no respect for wildlife. You are supposed to completely leave the animal alone in its natural habitat. They are disgusting.
Yes but a chance he might him before he can get out. Plus he is not attacking he is playing. For if he was attacking he would have killed the guy all ready.
I would just love to see him punch holes in that guy. People think these are some kind of docile animals. They can kill someone! Just them kicking you can do it. These people are complete idiots they stress this animal out and they had no right doing that. You should have turned around and gone the other way. Stay out of the parks idiots! He wasn't playing, he was warning. What's with you people? You think they're grown elk play with people who are in their territory? Stay out of the parks all of you.
(on foot) If YOU are chasing the deer, you can outrun it, if you are in good shape. If the deer is chasing you, not a chance. Deer and most other four legged mammals are much faster than humans, but humans are the best endurance runners
Can't blame him for what? I blame the imbeciles that were invading his territory and stressing him out. In a national park you are not supposed to do anything at all to disturb the animals natural habitat.
Sad to see animals can't even catch a break in Yellowstone winter. now we need to run to death on our snowmobiles. They used to have one vehicle with tank treads taking 20 -30 tourists. Let's entertain ourselves at the animals expense.
One of the few people with a brain in this group. My son is a park ranger at yellowstone, he absolutely is sickened by people like this. They had no right to stress this animal out. Stay out of the parks!
Wildlife in their natural habitat are not there for your entertainment. They should have turned around and gone the opposite way. They were stressing him out.
Geeze. At least you helped the guy out in the end. I can't imagine just sitting in my car filming a wild animal being aggressive towards another human and laughing about it!! You're in a car, honk your horn, slowly pull up and try to get the animal away from the person!! What is wrong with you?!
Absolutely right, that they are a bunch of cruel dumb stupid ignorant abusive idiots. They all should have turned around and gone the other way. When you are in a national park, you do not disturb the animals natural habitat. They were stressing him out. Stay out of the parks idiots! My son is a Yellowstone ranger, he absolutely hates people like you. I was wishing that he would punch holes in that guy, and stomp on the hood of the car. Idiots. Stay out of the parks if you can't respect the animals
Hey Shirley Draski, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
How about not worth it to stress out our wildlife. They should have all turned around and gone the other way. Disgusting the way they stressed him out, and then they left about it. I wish would have punched holes in some people
It's appropriate if the elk punches holes in everybody and stomps on the hood of the car to teach these people that you leave a wild animal alone in their own territory. Stay out of the parks you're a bunch of brainless idiots. No respect for Parks or the wildlife. My son is a park ranger and he hates you people
What are they doing to "harass" the elk? They were riding their snowmobiles on a presumably set path, and an elk happened to be there. The same thing happens with cars and roads.
Those poor animals all those people and machines. Humans and machines GO HOME. How would you like it if you got to get laid once a year maybe or so and all the elks came to disturbe with noise all women hate, and cut off your supply of rut.
In their defense, this guy probably never got "laid". He was not a dominant bull. Additionally, if he were, he likely got laid anywhere from 5 to 30 depending on the size of his herd... And the rut is long gone, occurring in August or September. As far all those machines and people, this is a 1 lane road that amounts to a loop in the winter. There is endless wilderness in the park with very little impact by humans. Your city on the other hand is far more detrimental to wildlife in the past and today.
I would of just calmly spoke to the elk.. it would of been able to understand my soothing tone and know i was a safe human... unlike those nasty hunters it is probably more used to seeing.
The elk herd exists because of fees hunters have paid to preserve the herd...im not a hunter and dont plan to be but i understand how hunters have saved big game animals
M' Lady so saying that hunters pay for conservation makes me a rapist? go back to 4th grade and learn what a rapist and what rape actually is, Child. Dont talk about things you don't understand, and don't have the capacity to understand
Alot of u people need to understand a wild animal. One if it wants to attack, two if it is just curious or three if it wants to play. This was a play not an attack it wasn't rut for if it was fit that man would most likely be dead. People post videos and saying this that they simple know nothing about.
What the hell is wrong with you? Do you watch too many cartoons, you think that wild bull elk want to play with people? He was threatening them to stay out of his territory. They were stressing him out. My son is a park ranger and he has completely disgusted by people like you and these people. No respect whatsoever. Stay out of the parks all of you! You don't deserve to enjoy it
You are completely delirious. The only reason you think that is because they mercifully do not punch you full of holes, which you most definitely do deserve. My son is a park ranger at Yellowstone and he absolutely hates people like you and he has seen his share of people get gored or stomped. It can happen at any given moment and there is no way to predict it. These are wild animals. They weigh thousands of pounds. I hope next time you go to Yellowstone you go and stand by a domesticated bison, I can't wait to see the film when you get ripped to pieces. Better yet, stay out of the parks. You have no respect for wildlife or national parks.
Leave the elk be, its probably rut time hes looking for some lovin. Dont hang around an elk, just keep it moving if ya do. Either that or eat it...yummy
Have you actually ever had elk. I have. My son is a park ranger, he completely respects the animals, and he also hunts. He hates and detests people like this that completely disrespect wildlife. When you see a wild animal in a national park, keep your distance way far away, and leave them alone. This is completely disrespectful and my son hates these kind of people
If there were two sleds, that is precisely what they should have done. Clearly they were still running and if he had time to hop on, there was time to hit the throttle. There were multiple opportunities where the bull started to move away, yet they stayed there creating the issue. It's not as though he was blocking the road in front of them. Insert a moose here and there potentially would have been an issue.
Spot on your exactly right. Not enough people carry and too many are afraid to use it when proportionaly necessary as in this case. That aggressive attacking Wapati/ Elk, is clearly posing a danger to the public's safety. As such it needs to be put down; euthanized.
They are in his home and he's posing a threat to them? Hey I've got an idea. Stay the out of his home! People like you pose a bigger threat to wildlife than they do to us. This animal has a right to protect himself in his home just like we do! You have no value for life except for your own.

@@lannyqualls9428 It's self evident by your response that you are a typical provocatour . Who is an extreamly shortsighted, Narrowminded, Arrogant Elitist Leftist Zombie& Droid Bully. As when you attack and malign me personally not knowing anything about me shows who you are. You just never know who your going to run into. I am a highly educated and traveled person more so than many a "Joe Sixpack"! Secondly, you don't realize that partly I actually agree with you that dumb,illinformed people Do indeed frequently cause situations provoking wild apex predatorial animals in tourist places like Yellowstone etc. That is where education and oversight monitoring by Ranger's come in. My comment is Not focused on dealing with stupid people as you foolisly and erroneously think. For the record, I am an experienced Outdoorsman and Lawenforcement Officer. I am knowledgeable on the various behaviors of different animals. Should I be traveling on a roadway and I see an aggressive apex predatorial animal,( as is in this video) in an attack mode, I'm going to see about giving distance to avoid the said animals and quickly leave, depart the area and inform Rangers Police, authorities as soon as possible. If for some reason I cannot leave egress an area due to a motor vehicle breakdown or other emergency etc. In a worst case scenario, if I cannot leave an area and an aggressive Dangerous animals is engsuging attacking me, If no other options to insure my personal safety are not feasable, I Reserve the right to defend myself based upon the proportion of a threat posed by attacking aggressive animals. Every situation is different. I do not look for provoke or seek out such situations. All I convey is that people do have the right to Self Preservation Defence and Yes the value of Human beings lives superceeds that of animals. People should learn to respect animals and to know as much as possible about the various behavior traits of the various species of animals where they live or travel to or through. Stupidity can get people injured or killed. People need to act responsible, reasonably be smart. Real Education is a mittagating factor. You really need to look yourself in the mirror as you behave, come off as an arrogant provocateur maligner and bully who makes comments on people you don't know anything about. Such are signs of not being smart as well!
You people are disgusting. You are deliberately stressing a wild animal. My son is a park ranger and he finds you kind of people cruel and incredibly stupid. You should have turned around and gone the other way. No respect whatsoever. Stay out of the parks.
I'm going to guess if there's no way you could possibly even think about shooting it out much less dressing it. My son has a freezer full of elk and mule deer in his garage. He's a park ranger, he would never ever think of stressing an animal out like this. Very very disrespectful.
They should have just gone the other way. They were completely stressing him out. Incredible disrespect for wildlife. And laughing about it? My son is a park ranger and he absolutely hates these people.
@@marcialussier2467 „these” people were actually very nice, they were perfectly still. Laughing is allowed. I don’t see anyone stressed out here, including the animal.
"Not going to let him by"? Stupid!!! They are provoking the elk. They could easily get on their machines and ride away. These kind of people wind up injured by provoking wildlife. Sad
wk r - Normally I wouldn't answer something so lacking in every way, but I am bored tonight, and you are so unbelievable, I have to say something...or I'll bust a vessel. Did we watch the same video? - or - Did you watch another, and comment on this one? You are the type of creature that someone would see in a bar and ask, "what happened to you, how did you lose your right eye"? Then you could answer, "while on a snowmobile, I thought it was OK, so I tried to drive by an angry Elk Bull and he speared my head". Took 4-operations, and I'll never see out of that eye again. But it's alright though, because I managed to drive by him, so I won.
I wish they would have gotten injured. They were a bunch of completely disrespectful idiots. My son is a park ranger and he absolutely is completely disgusted with these people. When you encounter a wild animal in their own territory, you back off turn around and go the other way. People like this don't belong in a national park.

Jeff Mclearen weird
It was not supposed to be cute. It’s a warning.
Puppy like? They were stressing this animal. They need to stay out of the parks
He’s just a young boy trying to play and show off how manly hes getting. Such a good elk
You mean dearly lol
Beautiful elk
It’s almost like he was asking them to come and play with him!
That is one beautiful animal
When the Elk walked away you should of stayed still . Not smart to keep moving
Is this "attack" behavior or "play" behavior? It strikes me morel like play. Maybe he thinks the Snow Mobile is some sort of fellow animal. At what point is it a good idea to sound the horn?
Yeah he's just a youngen. Seems like he's having fun!
He's such a nice animal , he looks like he's having a good time . Yellowstone is such a beautiful park.
Humans are always in the animal's territory the animals never get a break
Elk says, "Are you sure you paid to drive on my road?" Lol
Beautiful creature
kudos to you for being calm and respecting this beautiful animal :)

Elk said that this is my. territory
Elk is like you will leave when I tell you to leave.

"Human you shall not pass!"
Hes really impressive, that snowmobile was terrified!
He wanted to bump heads because the other elk won’t let him play.

When the rutting season isn’t long enough for some bulls.

You just never know who your going to run into. I am a highly educated and traveled person more so than many a "Joe Sixpack"!
Secondly, you don't realize that partly I actually agree with you that dumb,illinformed people Do
indeed frequently cause situations provoking wild apex predatorial animals in tourist places like Yellowstone etc.
That is where education and oversight monitoring by Ranger's come in.
My comment is Not focused on dealing with stupid people as you foolisly and erroneously think.
For the record, I am an experienced Outdoorsman and Lawenforcement Officer. I am knowledgeable on the various behaviors of different animals.
Should I be traveling on a roadway and I see an aggressive apex predatorial animal,( as is in this video) in an attack mode, I'm going to see about giving distance to avoid the said animals and quickly leave, depart the area and inform Rangers Police, authorities as soon as possible.
If for some reason I cannot leave egress an area due to a motor vehicle breakdown or other emergency etc.
In a worst case scenario, if I cannot leave an area and an aggressive Dangerous animals is engsuging attacking me, If no other options to insure my personal safety are not feasable, I Reserve the right to defend myself based upon the proportion of a threat posed by attacking aggressive animals.
Every situation is different.
I do not look for provoke or seek out such situations.
All I convey is that people do have the right to Self Preservation Defence and Yes the value of Human beings lives superceeds that of animals.
People should learn to respect animals and to know as much as possible about the various behavior traits of the various species of animals where they live or travel to or through.
Stupidity can get people injured or killed. People need to act responsible, reasonably be smart. Real Education is a mittagating factor.
You really need to look yourself in the mirror as you behave, come off as an arrogant provocateur maligner and bully who makes comments on people you don't know anything about. Such are signs of not being smart as well!
Aawww! He just want d you to pat him on the head and scratch his chinny chin chin, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing funny about this!!!!
You people are disgusting. You are deliberately stressing a wild animal. My son is a park ranger and he finds you kind of people cruel and incredibly stupid. You should have turned around and gone the other way. No respect whatsoever. Stay out of the parks.
What if they were trying to get to their cars go home? If any animal was in the way of your vehicle as you were trying to go home what would you do?
EASY MEAT in the Freezer!!!!!
That's terrible.
National park! It’s illegal!
I'm going to guess if there's no way you could possibly even think about shooting it out much less dressing it. My son has a freezer full of elk and mule deer in his garage. He's a park ranger, he would never ever think of stressing an animal out like this. Very very disrespectful.
Respect them,be still, and they will go on about their business once they realise you're not a threat.
No, they need to respect us. We need to regain our long lost instinct for survival.
I don't understand how people can be joking as if it were no big deal. Someone could have died.
They should have just gone the other way. They were completely stressing him out. Incredible disrespect for wildlife. And laughing about it? My son is a park ranger and he absolutely hates these people.
Dude literally tried to drive away from it and it ran after him to block his way.
@@marcialussier2467 „these” people were actually very nice, they were perfectly still. Laughing is allowed. I don’t see anyone stressed out here, including the animal.
"Not going to let him by"? Stupid!!! They are provoking the elk. They could easily get on their machines and ride away. These kind of people wind up injured by provoking wildlife. Sad
wk r - Normally I wouldn't answer something so lacking in every way, but I am bored tonight, and you are so unbelievable, I have to say something...or I'll bust a vessel.
Did we watch the same video? - or - Did you watch another, and comment on this one?
You are the type of creature that someone would see in a bar and ask, "what happened to you, how did you lose your right eye"?
Then you could answer, "while on a snowmobile, I thought it was OK, so I tried to drive by an angry Elk Bull and he speared my head". Took 4-operations, and I'll never see out of that eye again. But it's alright though, because I managed to drive by him, so I won.
I wish they would have gotten injured. They were a bunch of completely disrespectful idiots. My son is a park ranger and he absolutely is completely disgusted with these people. When you encounter a wild animal in their own territory, you back off turn around and go the other way. People like this don't belong in a national park.
He wants you to scratch his ears, clearly he had an itch. He was saying “scratch my ears like you do your dogs, I’m dying here man”
He said "get off my home fuckers". :-)
Crap sexy guy left.. didn't even ask me to dinner! Can't imagine why not? Is Jason still trying to own me?
he just wants a sparring match with that snowmobile lol
Это моя девушка!!!... ... Валите отсюда. По хорошему.
I love how the elk licks his but acting like he is better than everyone else its what they do to show their dominance
How much shit would the guy be in if a bear came wondering up the edge of the road .
Is there something wrong with the Elk?
I'd try to reason with the Elk. Talk to the Elk and yell him you must pass by.
Wheres Slock master when ya need him.
