Crazy up close encounter with an Elk

Haven't seen this posted yet.

I'm afraid I would have skinned my smokewagon and dropped him as soon as he lowered his head towards me.

If you notice he is wearing the new Ozonics necklace. That thing is amazing!!!

[Lawhorn]

That guy is lucky he didn't get hurt. Should've gotten gotten out of there a lot earlier.

On second look. Was curious, why would a guy be sitting in the middle of a road?
and we all know what would have made this video more entertaining.

There's another another one for the Darwin Award. Some people just don't have a brain.

WOW that is nuts.

[Codie]

not saying it was smart, but he did get up and get out of there when the little guy started getting a little to rough for his liking

What a cool experience that would have been! Photographers and Hunters get to experience some really incredible things in their lives

One poke to the juggler vein and it would have been over.

For Sure--and it reminds me of the guy in Alabama that was blinded in one eye by his "pet buck" in the last week or two.

It was just a mischievous little elk. It didn't seem like he really wanted to hurt him. Still would have been really scary. How many people can say they've sparred with a bull elk?

[Encinal]

He's just play fighting... I might have stuck in there. That's a pretty cool experience.

[Legdog]

Still safer than a wing suit.

Cool that the encounter was captured.

Heck, all you need is a Bowie knife and you'd have yourself some tasty blackstrap!!
