ESTES PARK, Colo. (KKTV/Gray News) - A man captured a video of an elk attacking a person in Colorado.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife continually warns people to avoid conflict with wild animals, especially animals that pose a danger to people and pets. Click here for more tips and advice from the wildlife agency.
Some years ago my wife and I were in Colorado going through the mountains when we saw a bull elk with two cows apparently in estrus. There were several people within 20-30 feet of them with one dumbass less than eight feet away taking pictures. I said let's leave before we see the elk kill someone. I've spent too many years around cattle to even consider getting that close to them during breeding season and then something as wild and unpredictable as elk?
"...avoid conflict with wild animals, especially animals that pose a danger to people and pets. Click here for more tips and advice..." . OK... I think I got it. Avoid conflict. Especially avoid conflict if they are dangerous. Thanks for the great tips and advice, astute public servants!

ReplyDeleteI'm betting that dude hires a lawyer and tries to sue the antlers off that elk.
ReplyDeleteJust another STUPID tourist trying to get a close up. Wild animals are why god invented telephoto lenses.
