yea, I worked in Estes park, those elk have NO fear of humans. when I would lead rides out we would have to weave around the elk. Cow elk are really aggressive when they have their calves with them and Bulls are aggressive during rut.
There’s a bunch of White tail deer that live in my neighborhood year round down here in Texas…during Rut I constantly get eye F’cked by the big bucks going in and out of my house. Testosterone is one hell of a drug, 90% of the year they are very skittish. I always give them a wide birth during rut.

In Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming/Montana, USA), the Elk kill more people than any other animal. They have them all over, and they also have life-size statues of them.

That is no situation to play around with. That thing can kill any man in about 10 seconds. I’m not joking. You’ll get knocked down and then it goes to town and you are likely not going to get back up again.
R G : I agree with you 100%. That was super scary. I read some comments about trying to wrestle it! That animal would kill you so fast. Jumping up and down on your head and body. It would happen instantly.
I know elk are BIG. have seen them up close and personal, but this one seems big for a female or could it be a male who recently shed his antlers. I was looking for a video where an bull elk throws a photographer who got too close up into an evergreen tree with his antlers.
Now he regrets feeding that elk when it was a baby... come to Papa. Next time wear a plaid shirt... dummy, they'll leave you alone thinking you are part of the elements. Very nice Elk Dance, the guy got moves
How could you even call it a Darwin Award? Humans have no idea what an elk might do at times and he didn’t want anything to do with it, yet the elk kept approaching him because IT thought the human was a threat, if you were gonna give a Darwin Award to anyone, give it to the elk, they shouldn’t be acting towards humans this way.
He had it half correct: look the animal in the eye and do not back down (works on most animals; I use it in the pipe corral on crazy cows all the time!).
