I am glad you were able to see this spectacle. What is called the elk rut is a standard time of year when bulls shed soft velvet to better compete with others for mating rights. The roughness of such fights ensure that the strongest pass on their genes. The bare antlers equip the bulls with that ability. So not "horrid," just a standard season for elk.
Yes, I had planned this trip in October of 2005, in particular to see the Elk rut and hear the bugling, it's a hair raising and primitive sound and beautiful at the same time. I stayed for 5 weeks at the Slough Creek campground and listened to the wolf's howl and one time had a Grizzly approach the back door of my camper. During my last week there in September it snowed and I have a picture of my truck and camper covered in snow but unfortunatly I can't post the pic here. Trip planned and accomplished perfectly.
I'm a born and raised resident, and love to learn about elk / the rutting season. I made this title 4 years ago when I was a dramatic preteen and didn't expect ppl to get so mad. Tbh it's a little funny how much backlash I'm getting from dude bros. I appreciate the respectful response, but since the video was made so long ago, I didn't really bother to make any changes and still wont bother. I'm a photographer and frequently hike and document the wildlife in my area. I'm trolling a little in the comments but it's all in good fun :) thanks
Was at Yellowstone a few years back, a guy got rammed by a buffalo getting to close to film. A stupid lady told the park ranger they should train the animals to be more friendly towards people.
I read the story of a lady who wanted to move the "deer crossing" sign so they didn't trample the soil near her home and wouldn't block traffic near her house. She was serious.
Have to agree, nothing horrifying about that unless you're a nature denier. What do you think they have those antlers for in the first place? Protection from muggers?
A few years ago at headquarters of Yellowstone National Park, Mammoth Hot Springs, there was a huge herd of Elk as there is most of the time, with some bulls and cows and one big bull in particular was huge and picking on all of the other bulls and chasing cows, and people. He was being particularly aggressive and that night the park rangers sedated him and cut off his antlers. When I saw him the next day with no antlers he was still being a bully but had no punch and the other elk were just thumbing their noses at him. It was funny and sad at the same time.
I saw a lot of stupid people in the background getting way to close and those are the people that you hear about getting attacked. They are wild animals watch from a distance.
I live in a place where we go watch large herds of elk, and then cross the road and go watch the sea lions for awhile. It's pretty cool. Enjoy life while we can. Oh, by the way never get to close to the wildlife. It's surprising how fast they can move.
While walking along the Jasper Park Lodge golf course in late fall, my mother and I watched as the bull of a small elk herd started swimming toward the male of another herd. Each bull uttered guttural sounds of challenge, intent on stealing each other's cows. As the swimming bull came ashore and began walking toward us, we realized we would be trapped between the two males. But just then a Lodge pick-up truck arrived on scene to scoop us up and out of the way. Fortunately a group of golfers had been keeping an eye on the elk - and us! - and, realizing we could be in danger, phoned the Lodge and asked that someone be sent to rescue us. From the safety of the truck we watched as the males faced off.
You actually KNEW the bull elks would challenge each other, but instead of walking away, as the bull was swimming across the waterway , as any NORMAL people with common sense would do, you actually STOOD THERE (to videotape to show friends), and then begged for someone to come and save you? Dumb and dumber, lol.
The danger is all in your head. When I lived in that same area I used to go up frequently to Beaver Meadows where groups of several hundred elk could always be seen, and I would walk out among them and hang out within a few feet of the nearest animals for hours. If you just stay quiet, keep your movements contained and arms at your sides (not snapping photos constantly, in other words), they just ignore you. There never was any elk threat, the threat is from the people who don't bother to mind their manners in places where wild things belong and you don't.
@@eldermillennial8330 those weren't around in the 1980s when I was up that way. And since this overnight infestation of 'smart phones' just a few short years ago, I for one never became a selfie-addict or even ever used anything more than a real cell phone instead of these dangerous toys everyone is so recklessly self-obsessed with today. The point of being with the elk was being with the elk, not posting dime-a-dozen shots on social media about being with the elk.
How is this horrifying? It's nature. It's incredible footage and you're so lucky you got to see such a magnificent event take place right before your eyes!
John Doe Thank you I called it horrifying because I had never seen such a hard battle like this before it's truly amazing Thank you for your comment X3
Cervus canadensis just doing what elk do. The rut is upon and anything goes. He's tasting the air determing which cow is in the optimum ovulation cycle. Dominance is determined and the winner takes all. He knows when to hit that cow for maximum conception percentage. And the lifecyle of the elk continues.
I love to hear them trumpet late at night in season. Walking out of the cabin and being surrounded and not know it for the darkness. Then you pull out the night vision glasses and you are surrounded.
When the one bull got knocked down and was being shoved around I was afraid we might see some bad injuries. Was glad to see that apparently did not happen. I once stalked close to a rutting harem bull for a phot op. He had a bloody gash on his forehead between his antlers, but nothing serious. It seems to me that the greatest risk for these animals must be the risk of eye injuries when they don't engage square on.
Camping in the Shoshone National Forest, in the Rockies in WY last summer I woke up early one morning to the sound of an elk bellowing near our camp. It was a little shocking.
There’s a haunting beauty to it, although it’s more effective when you have no idea where it’s coming from, reverberating between mountains. It comes across as more of an exotic “moo” when you can actually see them do it in real time, as they’re more cute then “supernatural” up close.
I`d rather fight on a golf course than on a side of a mountain any day! Golf clap for the victor! Nice video, these guys knew when to quit. They hung out together all summer. The ones who do not know each other get to be intense in the back country.
Now All of this Could Have been Avoided @ 4:33 , If some had said; " Gentlemen Please " ! " There Has Got to be a Civilized ' Manor ' in Which This Can Be Settled " !
What is horrifying about that is that the people are just standing there with agitated Elks absolutely unbelievable not an ounce of good sense risking their lives their child’s lives in great harm!! What the Hells a matter with you people!
I lived in Estes Park nearly forty years ago, and the elk situation was already out of control then and had been for years. They were drastically over-populated in the eastern side of the national park, and the spillover effect into the town itself was extreme. Locals year in and year out experienced gardens being trampled, young trees being destroyed, fences being toppled, and of course several hundred would usually hang out on what was left of the grass on the golf course (yeah, like Estes Park ever needed a golf course.) Elk aren't stupid. To the east of the town are vast national forest lands where hunting elk during season is legal, and to the west is the park, where it isn't. Every few years some poor soul with above-average common sense would put out a proposal for a special hunting season in the national park and even near the town itself, and OMG! The animal rights people would go berserk, those poor helpless elk, yada-yada. Like all do-gooders everywhere, with their ignorant and ill-considered moralisms, the outnumbered east-coast liberals in that traditionally Republican area apparently preferred to have the elk die of disease from overpopulation than to have their numbers reduced by hunting so that the herds as a whole could thrive. Obviously common sense has never prevailed. Not surprising, tourist towns are not known for the mental acumen of their residents anyway.
Born and raised here in Estes Park Colorado, and have a garden of my own. I understand the pain of losing my plants, especially because its harder to grow up here. I'm not advocating for any cause and was completely being dramatic in the title as I was 15 when first posing the video 4 years ago. I do agree with you, the elk population issue is real and elk are pouring into town. The elk also slow down new growth and some areas have to be blocked off to prevent elk from destroying the flora. During the Rut when elk go to open valleys to carry their calls further, it unfortunately brings them to Estes Park as it's a valley just the same. I'm not against the idea of hunting either but the attack on locals intelligence won't get anyone anywhere. The best way to advocate for such things is to work with locals who are interested in your ideas. I know plenty of people who would be on board.
@@pinksoup8548 I know, right? We have to get along with each other! I feel the same about humans and animals! Not saying you can't eat meat or use the animal for other important resources.
I was in the Canadian Rockies a number of years ago and watched several tourists following cow elk with calves around a public park in the middle of Jasper. As if those hoofy things won't cave in your skull. :-( Topping that, as we drove out of town, we passed another tourist with a camera literally on the heels of a young black bear, chasing it down the ditch alongside the highway. Where was your video taken?
This video was taken in Estes park colorado. Its true many tourists and locals get way to close. Last year we had to put a bull elk down because he attacked two girls.
The playing field is TOO level. Some clever bulls make use of terrain to their advantage to change the odds. In an open park, direct strength is all they have.
I frequently hike and live here in the Rockies. The title is dramatic I know, but take it with a bit of salt as I was 15 when I first posted this video :)
Your survival and well-being are at stake when you're around these largest of all deer! Think of a bull elk as a horse 🐎 with antlers! 1000lbs is average for a yearling bull!
Okay I'll elaborate our rooster had 30 hens in his hen house our Gander had 17 fenale Geese... Our white-faced Hereford bull had 45 cows... whitetail deer mule deer actually all the deer species The Buck has quite a large selection of females the same goes for the wild Ram and his harem... a male lion can have up to 14 females in his pride... as can a Silverback Gorilla ... There was a bird in South America filmed on a trail cam that serviced 12 females in one day... should I go on?
All we need is a lady yelling, “Someone call a park ranger, where is the park ranger, can’t they stop them from fighting!?!?”😂
Commonly referred to as "Karen"
The world is full of them today!

Yup..they definitely would work against a mugger....or muggle
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's was for the purpose to dramatisise, not an actual criticism of the elks behavior. Plus I was a child 4 years ago
If by horrifying you mean amazing... then yes, it is horrifying. Wow, what luck to capture raw nature like this. Thanks for sharing
Jay B The only reason I labeled this video horrifying is because I've never seen such a powerful battle before it's awesome
HELL YEAH 🍛🍛😋👍👍👍👍
Your video is so amazing. So much so I want to jump in thru video and eat some elk steak yum yum. Lol

So basically they fucked with nature....nice national park....
Are they breeding them to be more docile? He wouldn’t have bred that season.
There was a lot of people there also and the Rangers had to do what they had to do to protect the ones with the money.
I saw a lot of stupid people in the background getting way to close and those are the people that you hear about getting attacked. They are wild animals watch from a distance.
Theyre in town.

This is just a day in the life of an elk during rut.

Gorgeous animals! But what the heck is with the people being right up close to them? Insane!
They’re stupid people!! No respect for wildlife
They're inside a fence so im giessing they are use to humans. Herd is probably fed dailey
The elk roam freely in Estes Park. Seeing big bulls like this is a normal occurrence.
pic with the elk, feed the bears, pic with bison. Then they get attacked and it was the animals fault !!!!
Theyre inside city limits.
Estes park is amazingly beautiful. I use to fish in the lake as a kid and the elk would just walk around swim across the lake.
I'm so grateful to live here
I grew up in the Pigeon River area and we had a herd of about 50 elk come right through our yard and bit the top off of all our cabbage
I think if you see them coming your can discourage that by spraying your vegetables with VERY hot peppers. It can be washed off later.
I make sure to fence my pumpkins lol
I love to hear them trumpet late at night in season. Walking out of the cabin and being surrounded and not know it for the darkness. Then you pull out the night vision glasses and you are surrounded.
It's like a sign of fall, it never gets boring thats for sure
It happens quite MORE often than you think that one bull ends up seriously wounded or dead... AWESOME fight and capture on video.. very cool
When the one bull got knocked down and was being shoved around I was afraid we might see some bad injuries. Was glad to see that apparently did not happen.

You know, sometimes their antlers get stuck together and the can't get free. Sometimes, they will starve to death.
I know it happens, but the thought of it always pains me. What a horrible way for them to die.
Dudes out here prancing around, just looking for smoke!
I got ALL the smoke you need, right here on this Traeger! 🤣
That's cool two take downs.nature is ruff and tuff wild.

Rock, paper, scissors almost broke out among the Elks!
I'm horrified. Time to go now
This would be fricken awesome to observe. I would totally love to see this live.
It's a great time every fall :)
Sounds like a pissed off T-Rex
Horrifying, hardly! Wild animals, not soft humans, love it!
That is not horrifying! That is NORMAL elk behavior.
True
Majestic.
Definitely not horrifying. Just a couple bull elk doing what elk do during the rut. Would have loved to see that in person.
I was 15 when I posted, so I was a little dramatic. I look forward to the Rut every year :)
@@pinksoup8548 I was referring to the individuals expressing shock at a natural, albeit sometimes brutal, part of life for the elk.

I'm not sure what noise I want elk to make. But screeching isn't it...lol
I haven't been to Estes park in @ 50 years
Beautiful Bull Elk
That was beautiful a friendly horn rubbing and ok you win then each off and winner makes a Elk
“I won “ call . If humans can do that would be nice .
Nice capture.
GOOD ACTION !

It's a dramatic title, made it at 15 so I was just kinda wanting views. It worked and the video still is interesting to many people.
Yes, call the ranger and get them to sing Kumbeyaa.
Oh, can't they play nice?
The challenger walked away with a nice little harem, and the original herd bull walked away with a broken heart and a squashed ego. Poor dude.
your wrong the herd bull held the herd . look at the battle scars herd bull scars on left side

It is a cool video, but hardly "horrifying".
I understand
horrifyin g? thanks for showing me the way off the internet. it was gorgeous and powerful etc.
In Estes park I saw a bull knock a cow elk off her feet when she strayed by the golf course rough going for her
Guess I missed the HORRIFYING part!
It was a dramatic title I know lol
We should ban elk antlers... sure they're used for self preservation, but the damage they do - oh my!
Turn those dern animals into your H.O.A.
I get it, I was dramatic lol
Dear photographers, those pointy things are sharp.
I know thats why I had a 300mm lense but yes do not get to close
You were fine. Some of the other folks in your video didn't seem to understand that.
I agree I have another video of someone getting attacked
some people get way to close thx for spreading the message :)
I was in the Canadian Rockies a number of years ago and watched several tourists following cow elk with calves around a public park in the middle of Jasper. As if those hoofy things won't cave in your skull. :-(
Topping that, as we drove out of town, we passed another tourist with a camera literally on the heels of a young black bear, chasing it down the ditch alongside the highway.
Where was your video taken?
This video was taken in Estes park colorado. Its true many tourists and locals get way to close. Last year we had to put a bull elk down because he attacked two girls.
What time of year was this?
Late September or early October :) elks will start rutting even during late August.
Can someone give me a time stamp for the horrifying part please. I missed it.
Posturing for territory is now "horrifying." God help us.
Why must you assume it was literal, it was supposed to be dramatic
I just hand fed 3 of these big boys from my porch the other day
I have a huge cottonwood tree and they just love to munch :)
Where was this taken? Seems like a high fence pen.
Golf course.....
My guess would be Estes Park Colorado
Mark Swisher i watched a program about that place it can and had been highly over taking by the elk during the rut.
does winner take all?.......seems they must have a code to live by
Not horrible just nature at work.
True
Only thing horrifying is people strolling around so close.
This is wildlife at it's best. Great video footage that's for sure. Nothing horrifying in any which way. Lay off the tide pods...
Triggerd
When we're we going to get to the horrifying part?
Idk
It’s setting herd dominance. You really need to see it in the wild, not in town. They know how to set the bar for “top dog” if you know what I mean.
The playing field is TOO level. Some clever bulls make use of terrain to their advantage to change the odds. In an open park, direct strength is all they have.

Elk or deer with the widest rack usually wins!

Hardly...

Okay I'll elaborate our rooster had 30 hens in his hen house our Gander had 17 fenale Geese...

There was a bird in South America filmed on a trail cam that serviced 12 females in one day... should I go on?
And horrifying was just clickbait there was nothing horrifying about this elk duel..I thought it was kind of mild compared to some I've seen
@@kathyprock4505 Yes please do !
What was so horrifying about this??? It's just 2 big elk fighting over a female. Trust me, it's not worth all the effort.
Love this response
Mind if we play through?

True dat
He’s in rut.
yep. simply horrifying, but words mean different things to others.
Lol
Nothing horrifying about it, they were doing what Elks do.
Boom boom meat freezer full for 1 or 2 years
Close the golf course there's a battle going on
What’s horrifying about it? It’s natural behavior for rutting elk. Somebody hasn’t been exposed to nature I guess.
Born and raised here, my views are crazy high tho
And we have a winner!
Should have been labeled: "Keep Scrolling"
But ya didn't
ok... that was beyond Horrifying !! I may have peed myself a little
Hahaha lol
Hardly horrifying!

Everything is horrifying and scary to most people these days. "MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS".

Horrifying not! Thought I was going to see a pack of relocated wolves bringing down elk and eating them alive. THAT is horrifying,

I've lived in estes since I was a kid. Mf that ain't horrifying. Horrifying Is the feeling a heard of elk had when I charged em w a nerf sword
I was born here, made the title at 15 and dont really care about it
