That’s so true!, and clearly this elk was ambushed by those trees and they stopped him causing his neck to snap, and now they just stay there feeding on his insides in secret
The amount of force and kinetic energy to snap that elk’s neck is just phenomenal. It had to have gotten spooked in the dark and was trying to dart between the trees and crunch it was over quick. Shame it wasn’t found right away that’s a huge amount of food that could feed hungry people
@@CbrF4i600ccOkay but hear me out, why the fuck are you crying? Raised by a single mom or your mom ran your household? Cause that’s what happens to a “man’s” attitude when his father doesn’t wear the pants.
My older brother shot a big 10pt. whitetail on our lease in Mo. years ago with his .35 Rem and it bolted off down the hill through the timber. He heard a very loud crash and knew the deer was surely dead. He came and got me to help him get it out and when we found the buck it was lodged in a huge cedar tree with both back feet about 2 feet off the ground. He was just hanging there that was one of the strangest things I've ever seen on a deer recovery.
Over 50 years ago I went to hunt camp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I'd never hunted and had only fired a rifle once in my life. I was there as camp cook. On the third day one of my fellow hunters returned late in the morning. I had purchased a license but didn't expect to hunt. Tommy offered to let me use his iron sight .303 and I took him up on it. At this point none of the five hunters had even seen a deer. Everyone was back in and I headed out of the cabin. I didn't get 50 feet from the door when a good sized spikehorn stepped out of the swamp about 60 yards away and started walking camly toward me. I was really pumped up and fumbled with the safety and tried to shoulder the weapon. The buck kept walking toward me and at about 30 yards I aimed for the chest and fired. He came down at me running full tilt. He was about 10 yards away when he took a hard left into the swamp ....... a couple of seconds later there was a huge crash ,then nothing. The cabin emptied and the guys wanted to know what I was shooting for so close to camp. I explained and a short search ensued. We found the spike with little difficulty and upon further inspection could not find an entry or exit wound. He cooked up just fine. Tommy said I was so ugly that I scared him to death. When field dressing him it became apparent that his neck was broken , probably the crash I heard. I got my first deer but didn't really qualify as a successful hunter.
Little did the audience know, the elk had ate sour elderberries earlier that morning, and as far as he was concerned he perfectly dodge the other 7 trees that he saw while mervin back home

Not exactly the same but I've seen a similar situation with an American Whitetail in southern Illinois. My papa took a shot at a fairly sizable buck and missed, but the miss was close enough the thing took off like a rocket through the muddy bottoms. It tried to jump across a small creek running through the bottom and caught one antler on a tree growing up the side of said creek, twisted its head right around and broke its neck from its momentum.

You Win ! That's one of the wildest things I've ever seen in nature. I personally saw 3 deer killed by a downed powerline and 2 buzzards that flew down for the meal.
I used to live in this shitty place with no steps down from the door to outside. One day I stepped down onto the cinderblock and a leaf blew under my foot with less than 6 inches to go and I stepped on it, only it wasn't a leaf, it was a bird. He literally was JUST in time to get killed. Not really a hunting story but crazily unlucky for the bird.
In terms of craziest (and most hilarious) animal behavior I've seen was a drunk squirrel. He got into some leftover Jack-o-lantern that had fermented on someone's porch. Felt kinda bad for him, since it was such a new and disorienting experience for him, but I'll be darned if it wasn't the funniest thing to watch (especially when he decided to try and climb a tree). Little guy would only make it about a foot off the ground before he keeled over backwards and peeled himself off the bark. I have no idea how he managed to land on his feet every single time. 🤣 As an aside, he was just fine once he slept it off and sobered up. Saw him two days later, and he was happily scampering around. Pretty sure he learned to give fermented foods a miss too.
@@high4lfye243catching birds I see them do that all time they start going crazy when their dehydrated or to clumped up even fligh Into me at times haha
Actually, the elk didn't try to run through those 2 trees. Rather, it was blind and didn't see where it was going. Here's the reason why: The retinas in its eyes have the highest metabolic rate in the entire body by far... about 7 times greater than even the brain.... so when the blood pressure to the head dropped precipitously, the retinas didn't have the oxygen needed to function.... so vision was the first thing to go (especially with a heart shot) and the elk was essentially running blind. I've shot bears this way and they ran straight into large trees.... but they weren't trying to run through the tree.... they simply couldn't see what was right in front of them!
My dad who just passed away at 94 this Dec. told me a hunting story. His hunting partner shot a whitetail and it ran into a tree and ended up in a headstand, jammed in the trees. This was in the early 60's before I was born. Crazy stuff can happen in the bush.......
Quick note, be sure to read all text before ‘reaction commenting’ 😉. Description said, “ heart shot up the hill”. Also, the channel is ‘hunting and angling content only’ 😉. The old bull died very quickly,( humane I guess is the ‘in word’). This OLD past his prime bull fed 13 mouths, nothing wasted 🥳. ( as usual).
Without knowing anything I could tell he was not breathing and assuming he broke his neck wedged in those trees. But now reading your post I understand how he came to rest where he did. 👍
Great video and I did read the full description. I would have loved to see that shot and the elk running into the trees would have laughed my ass off. And its a damn nice Bull!!!
@@dustintunis9347 description says it was shot in the heart a little further uphill. So it ran a ways and this happened. Makes sense why it would attempt it. A merciful death considering nature
Guy 1: "ever see anything like that before" Guy 2: "sure, all the time, you haven't? Elk are always getting stuck between trees, it's a wonder they are not extinct, ay"
That is something you won't likely see twice! It must've died instantly from a sheared brainstem. That so-called "rapid deceleration" has a tendency to yield fatal results for humans too. My first year working in CID as a fairly new detective I was called to a suspicious death scene on a popular bike path. Area kids had gone into the woods where they built themselves a pretty kickass track with double and triple jumps, and tall sweeping berms you would more likely find at a racetrack. One of the local drunks (stumblebum is no longer PC I guess) was wedged on his chest face first against the rising side of a jump he obviously failed to clear. The BMX bike he had been riding was on top of him, with his legs bent awkwardly up as if time froze upon his landing. At his autopsy we found his brainstem sheared as crisp and neat as if it was severed with a laser. That good looking mature bull has it's snout angled similarly to the guy at the bike path incident I processed years ago. Thanks for sharing this incredibly rare occurrence Steve!
@@Hondaboy2325 At the time, I think I read a bunch of comments on people theorizing on how this happened instead of reading the description. Looks like the comments have evolved since then though.
Don't see his horn stuck in either tree, kind of looks like he died of a heart attack and fell side ways onto and in between those trees, he's not decomposing so it either happened recently with in hours of them getting there, or it's winter time and the temp goes below freezing each night and freezes the meat.
For a second my dumb ass thought you just happened to find him dead. I was thinking ‘damn that big boy must’ve hit them trees hard’ but then realized you got him lol awesome video
Over the years, I've found several large deer skulls with antlers lodged in the forks of trees. They get stuck and die and went their body separated from.the head, the skull is left just hanging their
People who liked this search for the whitetail doe which was recorded slowly walking into a calm shallow river until her head went under and she didn't fight it at all, it was the craziest wildlife video I've found. She wasn't shot but probably had CWD from deer being overcrowded. I know from hunting for my own meat for over 35 years that when deer are wounded they often submerse themselves in water with only their snout sticking above the water but to have a non wounded one drown itself was shocking. I've culled whole herds of deer with CWD and seen them run in small circles and try to climb trees like goats do..i'ts really a shame and sad.
Yeah its honestly really upsetting to see like I've seen herds of them in my town and the local police and my family had to get rid of them and put them down and it hurt because all the meat had to go to waste
Still alive scared to death watching them walk up and he’ll start to be eaten alive by birds and small animals/bugs until he dies from the birds or dehydration or a predator big enough to kill him faster than dehydration and birds
It makes me wonder what those two trees had to say when they went home to their wives that night. And one of the wives says, "Oh, for heaven's sake Leroy, I've never heard you make up something that stupid in a LONG time."
Wow. I was immediately reminded of one cold snowy morning my cousin and I hunkered down behind a log, and he started bugling, and guess what? well, within a few shakes a bull much like this one, was up close and personal, I'll never forget how his eyes were bulging and his breath blowing in clouds. He stunk. He was magnificent. He was lucky in that he glimpsed my cousin just as he rose, with arrow notched, and Exploded. Exploded is the correct word, shovel sized chunks of sod and snow flew from his hooves and he sprinted for the timber wherein he turned his head sideways. The sound of those shovelhandle sized green limbs popping off his horns, six feet above the ground as he dissappeared up the mountain is clear as I recall it now. It echoed like gunshots. Thanks for sharing, the memory was excellent. :-]
Yeah they run far distances but once it comes to a rifle they just get kn down by the power of it. It’s crazy but with a mussel loader I’ve had them run 300 yards until they dropped while there both lungs and heart are blown out
Video description tells us that the Elk was shot prior (Who reads this anyway). The video shows its final resting place after it succumbs to the shot. RIP.
Well to be fair that elk was shot near the heart and panicking and running from the hunters while bleeding and hit a tree in full speed. That elk had a pretty good excuse for dieing like that. Not that much of dumb way to die if you know the circumstances
If only had Mother Nature equipped Elks with eyes more at the front of their heads instead of on the sides, he'd have had a better spatial orientation and assessment of width between two objects, and he'd still be here with us!
I mean, they're on the sides of his head to see predators from all sides. But sadly without growing a third one or sacrificing peripheral, that critical depth perception is lost.

After utilising trigonometric functions and examining the molecules in the atmospheric density of the hooves of the bull elk I have come to the conclusion that this elk was IM FACT travelling at 40mph. This guy probably.
I mean I don’t see the trees moving either. For all we know, 2 trees were moving 40mph and the dead elk stopped them dead.
Fascinating analysis. Simply fascinating.
Isn't that more of a What if?
You're completely correct, what if the elk sacrificed itself to save its herd from monster trees
Its all relative right
What about 40 trees moving 2 mph?

@@1950sFordGuy never mind, I did not read the description of the video. He was shot in the heart up the hill and ran full speed into that tree afterward.
You Win ! That's one of the wildest things I've ever seen in nature. I personally saw 3 deer killed by a downed powerline and 2 buzzards that flew down for the meal.
The irony of this being a video on a channel called 'How to Hunt' is definitely not lost on me haha
As a hunter I have seen crazy stuff in the woods. This is definitely the craziest.
I’ve seen a crow slam itself into a tree and fell down the tree on to the ground.
I used to live in this shitty place with no steps down from the door to outside. One day I stepped down onto the cinderblock and a leaf blew under my foot with less than 6 inches to go and I stepped on it, only it wasn't a leaf, it was a bird. He literally was JUST in time to get killed. Not really a hunting story but crazily unlucky for the bird.
In terms of craziest (and most hilarious) animal behavior I've seen was a drunk squirrel. He got into some leftover Jack-o-lantern that had fermented on someone's porch. Felt kinda bad for him, since it was such a new and disorienting experience for him, but I'll be darned if it wasn't the funniest thing to watch (especially when he decided to try and climb a tree). Little guy would only make it about a foot off the ground before he keeled over backwards and peeled himself off the bark. I have no idea how he managed to land on his feet every single time. 🤣 As an aside, he was just fine once he slept it off and sobered up. Saw him two days later, and he was happily scampering around. Pretty sure he learned to give fermented foods a miss too.
A was standing on the dock fishing a while back when a bird flew right into my line and fell into the water
@@high4lfye243catching birds I see them do that all time they start going crazy when their dehydrated or to clumped up even fligh Into me at times haha
Actually, the elk didn't try to run through those 2 trees. Rather, it was blind and didn't see where it was going. Here's the reason why: The retinas in its eyes have the highest metabolic rate in the entire body by far... about 7 times greater than even the brain.... so when the blood pressure to the head dropped precipitously, the retinas didn't have the oxygen needed to function.... so vision was the first thing to go (especially with a heart shot) and the elk was essentially running blind. I've shot bears this way and they ran straight into large trees.... but they weren't trying to run through the tree.... they simply couldn't see what was right in front of them!
Dennis, you're either great bullshitting people or you know a lot about wildlife! Lol
@@LasVegas68 Actually, I know a lot about how vision works.
@@dsteffler54 Close enough!
😊👍
@@dsteffler54 I see. Thanks for the insight.
Poor guy he now understands what it means to be a plus size in a regular sized world.
So are these the same guys who shot the elk?
These two venus Moose-trap plants have successfully fertilized themselves for the spring.
Trees can be predators too.
The description answered my question. Dead on his feet, running by hardwire, he never even saw the trees.
Except it’s laying down?
@@jostewart554 Means he was dead before he hit the trees. Only collapsed when his momentum stopped.
I didn't even realize that till I saw your comment
Here I was thinking he dehydrated to death.
My dad who just passed away at 94 this Dec. told me a hunting story. His hunting partner shot a whitetail and it ran into a tree and ended up in a headstand, jammed in the trees. This was in the early 60's before I was born. Crazy stuff can happen in the bush.......
This feels like a massive design flaw in their evolution
Quick note, be sure to read all text before ‘reaction commenting’ 😉.
Description said, “ heart shot up the hill”. Also, the channel is ‘hunting and angling content only’ 😉.
The old bull died very quickly,( humane I guess is the ‘in word’).
This OLD past his prime bull fed 13 mouths, nothing wasted 🥳. ( as usual).
On the window of my cell phone it does not state what you said it did. If you're says elk pin between 2 trees
Hey pal , so you know you have to click on the down arrow on right to read full video description.
Without knowing anything I could tell he was not breathing and assuming he broke his neck wedged in those trees. But now reading your post I understand how he came to rest where he did. 👍
Great video and I did read the full description. I would have loved to see that shot and the elk running into the trees would have laughed my ass off. And its a damn nice Bull!!!
I bet that tastes amazing Steve !
Died looking at the sky (GD) one hell of a way to go.
@Nicklaus White - I certainly hope so.
Or looking at that shitty little tree just in front of him.
@@dustintunis9347 description says it was shot in the heart a little further uphill. So it ran a ways and this happened. Makes sense why it would attempt it. A merciful death considering nature
@@whitestguyuknow - I read that after I commented... Somebody else said something about the description so I went back and read it.
Loll you crazy
With the heart shot, he took off running then realized, "hey wait a minute, I'm dead!" and ended up here.
Hunter leaves and elk is like... "whew! That was close".
I’m just thinking backstrap in butter, garlic, and herbs.

Elks get shot alot
That is something you won't likely see twice! It must've died instantly from a sheared brainstem. That so-called "rapid deceleration" has a tendency to yield fatal results for humans too.
My first year working in CID as a fairly new detective I was called to a suspicious death scene on a popular bike path. Area kids had gone into the woods where they built themselves a pretty kickass track with double and triple jumps, and tall sweeping berms you would more likely find at a racetrack.
One of the local drunks (stumblebum is no longer PC I guess) was wedged on his chest face first against the rising side of a jump he obviously failed to clear. The BMX bike he had been riding was on top of him, with his legs bent awkwardly up as if time froze upon his landing. At his autopsy we found his brainstem sheared as crisp and neat as if it was severed with a laser.
That good looking mature bull has it's snout angled similarly to the guy at the bike path incident I processed years ago.
Thanks for sharing this incredibly rare occurrence Steve!
beautifully told and detailed story
*its snout…
@@allemander 😐
Isn't this how Dale Earnhardt Sr died?
Reading the comments, it seems that most people don't realize that this Elk was shot before hitting the trees.
Explain yourself..
Most people on here are not very bright.
@@Hondaboy2325 At the time, I think I read a bunch of comments on people theorizing on how this happened instead of reading the description. Looks like the comments have evolved since then though.
Don't see his horn stuck in either tree, kind of looks like he died of a heart attack and fell side ways onto and in between those trees, he's not decomposing so it either happened recently with in hours of them getting there, or it's winter time and the temp goes below freezing each night and freezes the meat.
They shot him and then he ran..thats how they knew he was running and seen him hit the trees AS HE GOT DEAD!!!
Trees: I'm bout to end this Elks whole career.
For a second my dumb ass thought you just happened to find him dead. I was thinking ‘damn that big boy must’ve hit them trees hard’ but then realized you got him lol awesome video
What? That's what happened though.
@@virtualmartini no they shot him and those trees just stopped him and he must have either snapped his neck there or bled out in that position
Over the years, I've found several large deer skulls with antlers lodged in the forks of trees. They get stuck and die and went their body separated from.the head, the skull is left just hanging their
It is a spiritual thing to hangs dead heads in the trees
@@williamhuber1015 not where I live. It more than likely died in the blue tongue epidemic that killed off a lot of the deer that year.
When hunting I've harvest deer and found them between tree's.
I've found a moose skull this way as well
"Elk runs 40mph into trees"
*Elk, dead, sitting still*
The trees: “they not like us”
Judging by the lack of torn up ground it was a very quick ending to a life well lived.
I noticed that too
Probably snapped his neck!
Or it’s staged for UA-cam
@@avfan967 riiiight
Geesh. Shot in heart. Read the caption!
People who liked this search for the whitetail doe which was recorded slowly walking into a calm shallow river until her head went under and she didn't fight it at all, it was the craziest wildlife video I've found.
She wasn't shot but probably had CWD from deer being overcrowded. I know from hunting for my own meat for over 35 years that when deer are wounded they often submerse themselves in water with only their snout sticking above the water but to have a non wounded one drown itself was shocking. I've culled whole herds of deer with CWD and seen them run in small circles and try to climb trees like goats do..i'ts really a shame and sad.
Yeah its honestly really upsetting to see like I've seen herds of them in my town and the local police and my family had to get rid of them and put them down and it hurt because all the meat had to go to waste
What's cwd
@@newspaperbin6763 Chronic wasting desease, if I'm not wrong
@@windwood7168 correct and it is horrible because it pretty much makes them in to "zombie deer"
No scratching marks on the ground, dude died instantly.
Until I saw the description I thought it had broke its own neck.
That's why I've spent my life advocating for free glasses for near-sighted wildlife, they can't afford them.
Cute dog

We can waste money putting people on the moon but we can't get glasses for nearsighted animals !! 😄👍
He must’ve been equipped with a Nissan transmission. Reverse gear is usually the first one to go.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kinda funny but He’s probably fuckin paralyzed so not really
Still alive scared to death watching them walk up and he’ll start to be eaten alive by birds and small animals/bugs until he dies from the birds or dehydration or a predator big enough to kill him faster than dehydration and birds
You must be confusing 5th gear.....🤣🤷🏻♂️
Ah ha ha ha ha, innocent suffering is funny!!
They finally avenged all his bark chewing.
Brilliant hunter for using the natural resources to help harvest, hold and pose such a magnificent animal.
Lmao at no one reading the description OMG what a rare sight 😂
@zwodubber I'm glad I saw👁️🗨️ your post❣ I was sitting here wondering🤔 how the hell was he stuck❣ Cuz he was shot.🤙
Pretty Bull, no doubt!
I was going to say, "who's not reading the title/description".. but nevermind lol
After reading the description, I was expecting the moment they filmed the deer running 40mph until it got stuck on the tree
Hell of a shot
It makes me wonder what those two trees had to say when they went home to their wives that night. And one of the wives says, "Oh, for heaven's sake Leroy, I've never heard you make up something that stupid in a LONG time."
thanks for the giggle. love your imagination :)
Ah ha ha ha ha, innocent suffering is funny!!
Lol
Dude, the headache along from this before he passed omg
Jokes on you when that elk wakes up from his mid day nap.
Unfreaking believable!!!
Same
I did that once while riding a three wheeler. That sudden stop when the two rear wheel hung those two trees about kilt me.
You would think an elk old enough to get to that size would have known it could not fit between those trees.
Wow cant tell how long its been stuck but i dont see bloating gasses in it yet check and see let me know did you chance bugers or just got neet rack
Oh my gosh.. you won't find something like that every day, a sad end for a beautiful animal.
He was shot in the heart before he hit those trees . Says so in the description.
If I was an elk I would much rather be shot than torn apart by wolves or freezing to death
Better than getting eaten by a bear or wolves
Read the description dummy
sad end indeed. rip sweet prince.
It happens relative "often" as they lose blood their circulation shuts down, and they're losing eyesight a few seconds before loosing conciseness....
Thanx for elucidating…it so adds to the piquancy and charm of the whole story.
The trees are secretly monks dressed up. Its called stopping oak style. He was assassinated by masters. He knew too much.
The circle of life, nature at her finest
Wow. I was immediately reminded of one cold snowy morning my cousin and I hunkered down behind a log, and he started bugling, and guess what? well, within a few shakes a bull much like this one, was up close and personal, I'll never forget how his eyes were bulging and his breath blowing in clouds. He stunk. He was magnificent.
He was lucky in that he glimpsed my cousin just as he rose, with arrow notched, and Exploded.
Exploded is the correct word, shovel sized chunks of sod and snow flew from his hooves and he sprinted for the timber wherein he turned his head sideways. The sound of those shovelhandle sized green limbs popping off his horns, six feet above the ground as he dissappeared up the mountain is clear as I recall it now.
It echoed like gunshots.
Thanks for sharing, the memory was excellent. :-]
Always amazes me how an elk, deer, etc., can run fair distance after having their heart shattered by a bullet.
People do it too, adrenaline is powerful.
The testosterone is strong with these.
I have done it several times after a tough break-up with GF's
Yeah they run far distances but once it comes to a rifle they just get kn down by the power of it. It’s crazy but with a mussel loader I’ve had them run 300 yards until they dropped while there both lungs and heart are blown out
@@wildtill9 sorry fam
He knew he couldn't climb trees, but he just had to try it. Curiosity killed the Elk
Video description tells us that the Elk was shot prior (Who reads this anyway). The video shows its final resting place after it succumbs to the shot. RIP.
Darwin award goes to this Elk🥇
Elk*
Elk
Dont listen to them its a moose
Well to be fair that elk was shot near the heart and panicking and running from the hunters while bleeding and hit a tree in full speed. That elk had a pretty good excuse for dieing like that. Not that much of dumb way to die if you know the circumstances
@@timexyemerald6290 i had no clue it was shot & running. I assumed it literally just got itself stuck. My mistake. You’re right.
If only had Mother Nature equipped Elks with eyes more at the front of their heads instead of on the sides, he'd have had a better spatial orientation and assessment of width between two objects, and he'd still be here with us!
I mean, they're on the sides of his head to see predators from all sides. But sadly without growing a third one or sacrificing peripheral, that critical depth perception is lost.
If only mother nature gave people brains
@@maxl3189 Like one to your mother and your father when they were conceiving you? That would certainly have been nice! That woulda increased a chance of you having one, too, wouldn't it?! Oh, well! If only had mother nature gave some people a sense of humor, too... 😛
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans deer have some of the keenest senses of any animal so your entire statement is wrong.
They get through trails quite easily and know there width just like a cat
The only reason it ended up like this is because it was shot lololklol

Ok , it seemed like a good idea at the time . I did not think this through at all .
After utilising trigonometric functions and examining the molecules in the atmospheric density of the hooves of the bull elk I have come to the conclusion that this elk was IM FACT travelling at 40mph.
This guy probably.
New meaning to “stuck between a rock and a hard place” tree version tho..
