The first time I saw elk was driving down the highway at night in Texas during a cross country trip. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep. Then I saw these guys grazing in the median and by the side of the road, and I realized that if I hit one of them crossing the interstate, it was all over for me, my passengers, and the car. I woke up pretty quickly.
Haha the horse never pinned his ears or froze or anything so he wasn't really stressed. He was more like hey forest bro, I don't want to play cod right now I'm eating and the elk tried to steal a fry but then said cool cool
@@stillstymied He did briefly at 1:10 and 1:12, and this whole video was them fighting. The horse seemed to fight because he didn’t want his food stolen.
That horse was like "don't make me pull up on you with my friend bro" 😂 while the elk stands so elegant and tall. Feisty and magnificent animals on both ends! I also love how when he throws the second flip flop the elk looks to it and then at him like "Was that supposed to do something?" and then trots off all "Terrible service, I'm going home to write about this on my blog."
I remember watching a fuller video of this somewhere else. If I remember the elk was horny and confused and mistook the white horse for a possible mate, as it was "tasting" the white horse earlier. Then the brown horse showed up and that's why they are standing off.
The elk was attempting to intimidate the horse to give up his food, but the horse wasn’t having any of it. The horse knows he can give as good as he gets...l love it!
Lol this is funny. You act like the elk doesn’t have 15 horns coming out of its head that would impale the horse. Y’all think it’s funny and y’all are saying “ get him girl” to the horse but an elk would do terrible things if it wasn’t for the fence.
Tough to overestimate how powerful, graceful, and athletic a bull elk is. Up where I live, lots of people have 5' fences around their property. But if an elk wants in, that 5' fence won't even slow them down. They'll clear it without even scraping their belly. You can buy a fence extender that bumps your fence up to 8' if you really want to keep them out. So far, I've never seen one clear an 8' fence.
When I was 10 yrs old riding on the back of my grandfather's snowmobile one afternoon. We had been messing around having fun on the snowmobile which was the newest and fastest. We came the into the second meadow over the crest of the edge of what we called the gravel pit, it looked just like it sounds. We can up over the edge and before we could comprehend what happened an elk had jumped up over us on the snowmobile. It was snowing heavily so I think we came across the meadow and suddenly we were right there and he jumped so we didn't crash into him. He was huge and easily cleared us is all I can remember.
I saw a National Geographic special that was trying to locate a pack of wolves that they knew were in the area, as they were relocating they were walking down a gravel road and out pops this bull moose. The N.G. Photographers had never seen a moose before and now they were all of about 50 feet away from a very large bull with big antlers. They starred at each other for about 10 seconds and the moose slowly walked away but stayed on the road. The N.G. guy later said that he did not realize that moose were THAT big, he said it looked like a giant horse on steroids with antlers on it. I guess the big mature bulls are around 1500-1800 lbs, as a point of reference the bull Elk is around 700-1000lbs a big moose is about 7’ tall at the shoulder an elk about 4 1/2’. The horse might want share some of what was in that mesh bag if that was a moose.
Either it’s “you’re lucky this fence is between us, bish!!” or “heh heh can’t do NOTHING to me while I’m in here. Stupid elk. Nanananna!!” From that horse lol
Probably a bit of both. A kick from a horse can do serious damage, but those antlers aren't anything to scoff at either. I'd say it'd go to the horses, on account of the fact that there are two horses in the video, but in a 1 on 1 it could go either way.
Wait, so you're saying this is only a TEENAGER? Geez i've never seen an elk before because we don't have one in our country so I'm really surprised of how big they are. I've always thought they were like, 2x bigger than a regular deer.
@@Highley1958 if they get the strike in time. You'll notice that horse watching for the charge motion and turning to kick. Horses can knock out full grown bulls mid charge if the horse is old enough.
@@user-qe7xh2xp9x well they could’ve cowered on the other end. All I’m saying is I observed that the horses were engaging and seemed in afraid which I think is cool.
Me and two co-workers got surrounded by about 30 Roosevelt Elk in the fog! We were going home after work, and the parking-lot was in nearly white-out conditions. Freezing fog and all that. Before we could find the truck, we hear the clattering of hooves all around us! For about 3 minutes, Elk in every direction. We held still, they held still, then they just sort of wandered off. Elk poop everywhere the next morning.
The elk was in rut. The little bay horse was probably a stallion which is why he and the elk were challenging each other. The larger calm, grey horse who was paying no attention to them was probably a mare.
I was honestly really proud of the old man for going out to protect his horses. Probably not past the tree. But from there I think he was pretty safe-ish.
You may have to be an elk hunter to notice, but that bull elk had a third antler. Just a little one between his right eye and the base of his right antler. Having a third antler is extremely rare. The elk is at least a 3 1/2 year old for those that are wondering.
This guy: I wish I had a rock or shoe to throw to scare him off, he just won’t leave Every elk hunter: if I can just sneak within 100 yds for a clean shot
The absolute adorable attempts at scaring him away are priceless. cus those were some of the most limp throws I’ve ever seen, grab something with some wait or stop letting your daughter be the thrower
That elk was not interested in the hay. clearly it's rutting season and he wanted to brawl. It's in his blood in September. If you look at the elk's left side facing the obnoxious lady filming, you can see he's been on the receiving end of another elk's antlers.
I was walking in a Provincial park in Saskatchewan Canada with my dog to go to the lake when we came face to face with a cow elk. We froze and my dog started barking aggressively standing it’s ground. She’s a black lab, very timid and I never ever saw her snarl and bark like that. She’d cower at a chihuahua. The elk trotted quickly towards us with its head down pawing the ground. I hid behind a tree the size of the one in this video. The elk circled the tree and we circled it to try keep some distance. It pawed the ground and flared its nostrils at me. Luckily my dog was on leash. I kept her behind my knees on a short leash to protect her from the elk’s long legs. I had a chuck-it thrower I hit the tree with and I yelled to make noise hoping to scare it away. It cornered us for 45 minutes. It would charge the tree. I was in boggy slop and had to hold onto the tree to circle it or I would have lost my footing. It wasn’t until I lowered my head that it charged the tree one last time and then walked away. Horribly scary incident. I got back to the camper soaking wet from the rain, white as a ghost and my dog and I were shaking. I was crying as the adrenalin I felt was over whelming. I was close enough to the elk I could have booped it’s nose! The thing was massive and incredibly beautiful. To this day if my dog is asleep and I startle her she jumps up and snarls and barks until she realizes it’s me. I didn't have my phone to get it on video - I mean there was little reception and I was going to the lake! It was fight or fight mode. An incredible and lucky experience. The Park Conservation Officer I reported it to said they had started calving that week and it probably had its young nearby it was protecting. The ek are a huge problem in the park. I think about that event frequently wondering the outcome if I didn’t just circle the tree waiting for it to back down. I am lucky and it awe of its beauty, strength and size.
Awesome story! Glad your alright & blessings to you both, dogs are vicious when necessary. I had an english pointer that busted out of my camper middle of winter and followed me to the river without me knowing until a mountain lion came face to face with me. I looked over to my right and there was my dog!! Barking, pointing, and the cat lifted his huge paw and reared up and jetted! I don't know how my dog got out but all the heat was gone from the camper because the door was open and I didn't fish that day because I was shaking like you and hugging my dog for his protective nature.
I had a bull walk right up to and past me in Yellowstone when I was twelve it was so amazing he didn’t even acknowledge my presence like I was a peasant meanwhile my mom next to me was shitting herself and dragging me away by my arm it hurt she had to do that a lot that vacation I chased a grizzly bear tried to befriend a coyote got stabbed by a tree and bled everywhere I think there’s a reason they haven’t wanted to go back now that I think of it
I'm a rural southern boy and I took a trip to Washington state when I was 18, and went up to Mount Rainier with my then-girlfriend. We went deep into the woods and stumbled upon a bull elk watching over a doe and some calves. It was probably the most intimidating thing I've ever experienced. I'm over 6ft tall but this thing towered over me and just stared us down as we slowly, quietly walked backwards until it was out of sight. Man should never forget that he is just a small part of nature.
As a Washington state native, I’m glad you got to experience this. One of my favorite things about living up here (Issaquah) is that nature is RIGHT there. It’s awesome. Have a good one, mate.
Had the pleasure of going to Paradise on top of Mt Rainier while stationed at JBLM. After trekking around I was headed back to my car at nightfall and I remember a bull deer or elk or I dunno - not a hunter, just knew it was BIG - just standing there on the trail letting a few other people walk by and take pictures like it was Bambi's dad there specifically for the photo op. It was crazy amazing to see and so I share your sentiments.
I live in northern California, along the coast...can always find herds of momma elks and their calves feeding at the end of the ocean high tide mark and edge of the Redwoods.Its incredible, up to 30 in a herd.Females are about half the size of a mature bull
@@bgifford1969 why do Southerners continue to think they're the only people with guns? Just because y'all get rock hard over your gun fetish does not mean rest of the country is gun free....you 🤡
An elk won't use its antlers to attack other animals, it will lock horns and wrestle other bull elk for dominance (the same way a white tail, caribou, red deer and moose do) and aside from that, it's a factor in whether a female is willing to mate. If that horse wasn't there, the elk probably still would have "won" that fight, it's bigger, way more muscular, and they're very sturdy animals. They can shake off grizzly bears, wolves and coyotes. Horse would get knocked over once or twice and have probably given up. Elk have evolved to fight, a horse hasn't, although it's way faster than an elk.
@@N_manMETA11 Even an 800-pound "lighter breed" horse outweighs a 700-pound bull elk. A horse kicks with a force of 2,000 PSI, a blow like that to the head can kill a tiger. That bear that got "shaken off" by an elk was a younger grizzly, still a relatively inexperienced hunter. Look up the footage of a wild stallion attacking an alligator if you seriously think a horse can't fight.
The horse was also given vibes that he wanted to turn around and give him a kick. Witch they will do easily when threatened. It would’ve been an interesting fight.
Horse probably has steel shoes on all four feet, which can add to the damage he/she could do. It's good there was a fence between them, which I think the horse recognized/realized and she/he could see the problem more calmly.
@@aarongonzalez4458 -- those are good observations and thus good arguments. Perhaps the horses, having watched humans more closely, also have developed good fighting strategies. Horses are no pushovers: I saw a brief video, somewhere here on YT, of a horse fighting of a mountain lion, who was probably quite surprised at losing that painful encounter.
@@TheCatnipCinema Those horses are well fed, have perfectly clean shiny fur and good muscle build so you can be 100% sure they are taken exemplary care of. Also the Arabian horse breed is expensive af so they for sure not gonna let anything scratch these gems. The elk on the other hand can be glad nobody had a gun.
Mythic indeed. A little human boy got lost in the woods, in the Winter. He found a tree with wide, thick branches that acted like an umbrella to protect him from the falling snow, but the cold of the blizzard was going to kill him. The next day, rescue searchers found him, and to their shock, he was alive. He survived the night of freeing temperatures.. When they asked how,..he said 2 Elk showed up to his tree, and both of them laid around the boy, keeping him warm. Naturally they thought he was just hypothermic, and confused. ..Til they seen the spot he bedded down for the night,..and they saw the spot where the 2 giant elk also escaped the blizzard, under the same tree, and huddled around the boy. Of all the trees they could've chosen,..one without a human under it,..they still chose his tree, and laid next to him. SO they really are a mythic creature.
@@alovelydeadfish I dunno, that's a lot of sharp points on the one end to be whacking with a shovel on the other end of. But, guess it'd be better than a house shoe.

It's crazy how they look kinda similar, but in reality, the elk, being an artiodactyl, is more closely related to a fucking blue whale or dolphin, than a perisoodactyl like a horse.

They're probably out camping, a lot of camp sites have corrals for horses, and who's to say that these horses are just having outside time. Idk about you but I don't know an elks schedule of when they decide to wander onto a camp site, do you??.
The elk was giving a look to the ones filming like, “ … yo this ain’t got nothing to do with you guys! My problem is with no antler shmuck!” 😆😄 This was definitely a interesting moment captured … Who knows how bad it would have been if no one was around to intervene 😳👌

Lol!
Stole this one from Chael Sonnen trash talking McGregor. About his pants: "They are European style!"
That Horse wasn't backing down, but you know that Bull Elk is an experienced Brawler.
Yeah that elk wouldn't really hurt that horse if it had the chance, I had no idea elk were so big, this one is pretty much the same size as the horse
Technically, it couldn't because it's caged in.
The elk is most likely young and was bullied out of the herd by the older elk, and probably doesnt know what a human is.
@Skeeter G-19 Soo... You've never seen a horse fight huh.
@Skeeter G-19 horse wins m8
I like the old guy saying “I’d like to have a rock and get him to leave!” 😂😂😂
The absolute adorable attempts at scaring him away are priceless. cus those were some of the most limp throws I’ve ever seen, grab something with some wait or stop letting your daughter be the thrower
Lol! That elk wanted some of that hay. The horse is like no way. 😜
You even made a rhyme _right there_ too!
You don’t say!
I thought the horse said nayyyy
That elk was not interested in the hay. clearly it's rutting season and he wanted to brawl. It's in his blood in September. If you look at the elk's left side facing the obnoxious lady filming, you can see he's been on the receiving end of another elk's antlers.
@@pwprochazka Could’ve been a jackalope attack.
Cant believe how calm the horse remained, still trying to eat, while being harnessed. You can tell he/she has alot of trail miles logged! 🐎
The Elk wanted what the horse was having and the horse didnt want to share any shit, horse: better eat this shit quick"
Pretty intelligent animal. Knew the elk couldn't get to it.
@Mike Studmuffin Is it? Doesn’t look like a mustang in the face or jaw to me, but I’m no expert. It does look small like a mustang.
@@dshepherd107 It's an Arabian. They have small dipped faces. They're one of the smaller horse breeds but incredibly strong.
I Like Horse meat
When he threw the flipflop at it and it just looked at him lool 😭😭😂😂😂
Looks like Santa clause is having a problem with his reindeer 🤣
I was walking in a Provincial park in Saskatchewan Canada with my dog to go to the lake when we came face to face with a cow elk. We froze and my dog started barking aggressively standing it’s ground. She’s a black lab, very timid and I never ever saw her snarl and bark like that. She’d cower at a chihuahua. The elk trotted quickly towards us with its head down pawing the ground. I hid behind a tree the size of the one in this video. The elk circled the tree and we circled it to try keep some distance. It pawed the ground and flared its nostrils at me. Luckily my dog was on leash. I kept her behind my knees on a short leash to protect her from the elk’s long legs. I had a chuck-it thrower I hit the tree with and I yelled to make noise hoping to scare it away. It cornered us for 45 minutes. It would charge the tree. I was in boggy slop and had to hold onto the tree to circle it or I would have lost my footing. It wasn’t until I lowered my head that it charged the tree one last time and then walked away. Horribly scary incident. I got back to the camper soaking wet from the rain, white as a ghost and my dog and I were shaking. I was crying as the adrenalin I felt was over whelming. I was close enough to the elk I could have booped it’s nose! The thing was massive and incredibly beautiful. To this day if my dog is asleep and I startle her she jumps up and snarls and barks until she realizes it’s me. I didn't have my phone to get it on video - I mean there was little reception and I was going to the lake! It was fight or fight mode. An incredible and lucky experience. The Park Conservation Officer I reported it to said they had started calving that week and it probably had its young nearby it was protecting. The ek are a huge problem in the park. I think about that event frequently wondering the outcome if I didn’t just circle the tree waiting for it to back down. I am lucky and it awe of its beauty, strength and size.
Awesome story! Glad your alright & blessings to you both, dogs are vicious when necessary. I had an english pointer that busted out of my camper middle of winter and followed me to the river without me knowing until a mountain lion came face to face with me. I looked over to my right and there was my dog!! Barking, pointing, and the cat lifted his huge paw and reared up and jetted! I don't know how my dog got out but all the heat was gone from the camper because the door was open and I didn't fish that day because I was shaking like you and hugging my dog for his protective nature.
I'm so glad you're OK,you and your doggie.
WOW ! my muscles would have been jello after 46 mins of a standoff like that !!
I had a bull walk right up to and past me in Yellowstone when I was twelve it was so amazing he didn’t even acknowledge my presence like I was a peasant meanwhile my mom next to me was shitting herself and dragging me away by my arm it hurt she had to do that a lot that vacation I chased a grizzly bear tried to befriend a coyote got stabbed by a tree and bled everywhere I think there’s a reason they haven’t wanted to go back now that I think of it
@@hellosweetheart3350 meanwhile my coonhound is terrified of turtles.....
Elk: gimme a bite
Horse: how’s about no
Horse: im eat it in front of you now
"I'd like to have a rock..."
Bull Elk: You have selected "lay to waste" mode.
The power of the Chancla! When he reached for the second one 😂
I'm a rural southern boy and I took a trip to Washington state when I was 18, and went up to Mount Rainier with my then-girlfriend. We went deep into the woods and stumbled upon a bull elk watching over a doe and some calves.
It was probably the most intimidating thing I've ever experienced. I'm over 6ft tall but this thing towered over me and just stared us down as we slowly, quietly walked backwards until it was out of sight.
Man should never forget that he is just a small part of nature.
As a Washington state native, I’m glad you got to experience this. One of my favorite things about living up here (Issaquah) is that nature is RIGHT there. It’s awesome. Have a good one, mate.
Had the pleasure of going to Paradise on top of Mt Rainier while stationed at JBLM. After trekking around I was headed back to my car at nightfall and I remember a bull deer or elk or I dunno - not a hunter, just knew it was BIG - just standing there on the trail letting a few other people walk by and take pictures like it was Bambi's dad there specifically for the photo op. It was crazy amazing to see and so I share your sentiments.
I live in northern California, along the coast...can always find herds of momma elks and their calves feeding at the end of the ocean high tide mark and edge of the Redwoods.Its incredible, up to 30 in a herd.Females are about half the size of a mature bull
Yeah but we cheat and have guns.
But that was a beautiful and true as fuck story.
We ain't shit without out weapons.
@@bgifford1969 why do Southerners continue to think they're the only people with guns? Just because y'all get rock hard over your gun fetish does not mean rest of the country is gun free....you 🤡
lmao the way the elk looked at that shoe "did you just throw a shoe at me?"
Lmao the elks face when they throw the flip flops towards him.
The horse just keeps trolling the elk by getting big hanging wads of delicious hay and eating it in front of him.
You might say he was being an ass.
1:41 elk looks down and up like saying are you gonna pick that up? 😂
If he would of used those antlers, that would of been one expensive vet bill
True, assuming the horse doesnt kick his face in first, It is possible.
@@BIGmlems so...
Never raised horses, huh?
An elk won't use its antlers to attack other animals, it will lock horns and wrestle other bull elk for dominance (the same way a white tail, caribou, red deer and moose do) and aside from that, it's a factor in whether a female is willing to mate. If that horse wasn't there, the elk probably still would have "won" that fight, it's bigger, way more muscular, and they're very sturdy animals. They can shake off grizzly bears, wolves and coyotes. Horse would get knocked over once or twice and have probably given up. Elk have evolved to fight, a horse hasn't, although it's way faster than an elk.
That’s what I was thinking
@@N_manMETA11 Even an 800-pound "lighter breed" horse outweighs a 700-pound bull elk. A horse kicks with a force of 2,000 PSI, a blow like that to the head can kill a tiger. That bear that got "shaken off" by an elk was a younger grizzly, still a relatively inexperienced hunter. Look up the footage of a wild stallion attacking an alligator if you seriously think a horse can't fight.
He must have been mighty hungry to have stood his ground so long.
Elk: What are the two walkers doing to you?
Horses: What are you talking about? We love it here
Horse: my food buck off!!!
Elk: bro I got antlers and not afraid to use em!!!
😂🤣 hilarious
The horse was also given vibes that he wanted to turn around and give him a kick. Witch they will do easily when threatened. It would’ve been an interesting fight.
Horse probably has steel shoes on all four feet, which can add to the damage he/she could do. It's good there was a fence between them, which I think the horse recognized/realized and she/he could see the problem more calmly.
@@debbys-abqnm4537 if they were to fight horse will win they have strong legs to kick elk are weak legs and antlers are useful but not against a horse
@@aarongonzalez4458 -- those are good observations and thus good arguments. Perhaps the horses, having watched humans more closely, also have developed good fighting strategies. Horses are no pushovers: I saw a brief video, somewhere here on YT, of a horse fighting of a mountain lion, who was probably quite surprised at losing that painful encounter.
Holy crap that guys beard was the best animal out of all of them
Underrated 🤣
Your mom
Bro I’m dead 😭💀💀
When I first noticed him I thought 'another female', then I saw him turn. Whooops!
It's not like I was paying close attention to the people, lol...
That's why all animals subject themselves to people, they see the beards men grow, women's hair, and bow in admiration.
Horses completely unfazed like SO WHAT YOU SAYIN, G?
😅 The elk looked so outraged at the shoe in his direction. He's like "...see, that's why I'm never working with you again, Santa".
Such a beautiful animal. There’s always something mythical about elk, and horses too! Glad this encounter didn’t resort to blows.
Who knows what their life's like when the camera's off. 😕
@@TheCatnipCinema they look like hippies in the woods, probably really fun people.
@@TheCatnipCinema Those horses are well fed, have perfectly clean shiny fur and good muscle build so you can be 100% sure they are taken exemplary care of. Also the Arabian horse breed is expensive af so they for sure not gonna let anything scratch these gems. The elk on the other hand can be glad nobody had a gun.
Yet this guy wants to throw rocks at it. It's just hungry and sees food.
Mythic indeed. A little human boy got lost in the woods, in the Winter.
He found a tree with wide, thick branches that acted like an umbrella to protect him from the falling snow, but the cold of the blizzard was going to kill him.
The next day, rescue searchers found him, and to their shock, he was alive. He survived the night of freeing temperatures..
When they asked how,..he said 2 Elk showed up to his tree, and both of them laid around the boy, keeping him warm.
Naturally they thought he was just hypothermic, and confused. ..Til they seen the spot he bedded down for the night,..and they saw the spot where the 2 giant elk also escaped the blizzard, under the same tree, and huddled around the boy.
Of all the trees they could've chosen,..one without a human under it,..they still chose his tree, and laid next to him.
SO they really are a mythic creature.
Metal spoon and a cooking pot would have solved that right smartly. Horse sure didn't want to give up any of that hay though, did it?
Or a shovel and a rock
@@alovelydeadfish I dunno, that's a lot of sharp points on the one end to be whacking with a shovel on the other end of. But, guess it'd be better than a house shoe.
Seeing as there is probably no other food source it's not a shocker
@@montieluckett7036 I mean banging the rock with the shovel to make noise and scare it away, works on moose so probably work on an elk.
@@alovelydeadfish Only thing I ever done with a shovel was dig a hole or whack something, or someone, with it. In my twilight years I have tried to steer shy of either one if'n I could help it. That's what God made the young'ns for, in my estimation.
Dude threw a memory foam flip-flop. Elk like : "dude, really."
Santa be like, "Blitzen! What are you doing here!? I'm on vacation!" Yes, I know that's an elk, but it looks like a reign deer.
Meanwhile at another part of the forest, Thranduil is like "has anyone seen my ride? I've got that 5 armies thing to go to..."
Oh I was thinking BUCK-aroo banzai.
It's crazy how they look kinda similar, but in reality, the elk, being an artiodactyl, is more closely related to a fucking blue whale or dolphin, than a perisoodactyl like a horse.
Oh yeah, for sure
Wow! Who knew??? YOU, apparently! 😂
who would win, standing on 1 finger or standing on 2 fingers? sometimes i forget whales used to be weird horses.
@@shogunate2022 no seriously, look it up. this was already settled by evolutionary scientists a long time ago.
@@shogunate2022 isnt it more miraculous, then, that if He created life, that we as humans lived and strove and achieved so much considering how long-lived the earth is? we survived mass extinction after extinction, plagues, creatures so much bigger and dangerous than our little mammalian ancestors, survived *ourselves*, and now... we're here! crawled out of the same primordial ooze, for millions scraped by, slowly changing into what would become the first ever human being... and we're alive and have so much to prove for ourselves. also, dude, play stupid games earn stupid prizes don't come in here like 'no ACTUALLY' and then get angry that people would disagree with you... or, maybe you're just bored and really wanna argue and don't actually want to listen or learn anything about our beatiful and ancient planet. thats sad! ):
A Trailer park in the middle of the woods with a sandal throwing comfy grandpa, horses and elks? Sign me up.
I love how the elk stopped being agressive at some point n just started vibin
He just wanyed some food man dkfjs
Gorgeous horse! The elk too.
Your extremely beautiful ❤️
@@hellosweetheart3350 thanks
Yah the brown one looks pretty amazing
Put horses in a corral outside, attract an elk . New hunting logic .
He may have been more attracted to the hay! Lol
@@mlolvera91 That's what I thought. He was trying to take the horse's FOOD.
They're probably out camping, a lot of camp sites have corrals for horses, and who's to say that these horses are just having outside time. Idk about you but I don't know an elks schedule of when they decide to wander onto a camp site, do you??.
That's horrible hunting logic the horses would never trust you and you would scare them shitless
Kunin people used to go to war on horseback, you can desensitize them to loud sounds
The elk was giving a look to the ones filming like, “ … yo this ain’t got nothing to do with you guys! My problem is with no antler shmuck!”
😆😄
This was definitely a interesting moment captured …
Who knows how bad it would have been if no one was around to intervene
😳👌
The horses are like “uhh, dad? Get the metal explosion stick please. He has face knives!”
This proof that Elk are not afraid of Sasquatch.
Lol
@Pronghorn Antelope I think by the Sasquatch, they meant, the man with the white beard
@@richkreyche7064 Santa Claus
That's a beautiful elk
And beautiful horses
@MacKenzie DONALD XD
@MacKenzie DONALD Welll.. no, they’re not nuisances. I do agree with that its okay to eat them.
@MacKenzie DONALD and im glad you mentioned killing it for meat. There are too mamy trophy hunters out there and its.. wrong
That headgear is pretty intimidating when he starts swinging it around like that.
lol, they're both flexing on each other like, "Don't hold be back, bro."
I love how he looks down at the shoe like “What, you expect this to do anything?”
Maybe give it CORVID..? *shrugs *
It did. It distracted the elk long enough for him to be able to throw a second shoe at him
Once Santa walked out, I couldn’t stop laughing 😂
I know Right?! I know it's an elk, not a reindeer, but Still! ROFL! That man has a Beautiful, Full, and White Beard!
That horse is badass. That's like a regular man going up against a body builder with two machetes, and the horse is just going at him.
Elk: "I shake my antlers in your general direction!"
Horse: *Eats aggressively*
“You’re gorgeous, but you’re being an a$$ right now”
What a perfect description of nature. Lol
That brown horse is gorgeous!!
Santa clau just comes out like BLITZEN WHATS GOING ON HERE?!
That horse was like "to hell with you, this is MY food! And you can't have any!" 😁😆
I love that Bob was having none of this nonsense. He was like "I'm gonna teach this Elk a thing or two."
Because Bob knows how much $$$ it would cost to fix or lose his horse.
Bob: Throws sandal
Elk: "Understandable, have a great day"
“Hey bob jump on em and ride em”
“Bob get back!”
Make up your mind! Do you want bob to die or not???
The Elk just wanted some Horse chow, Horse thought, NO SOUP FOR YOU, COME BACK 1 YEAR!
Elk just wanted the horses to share their hay lol, he’s like “stop being so damn stingy!”.
Yeah, like girls. They should share the pussy
cat's food with the dogs.
"I could totally eviscerate you with these."
"At least I can walk between trees."
Bobs belly got to him: "Dear lord, it jumps up and down? Im outta here!!"
Bob, muh dude, that deer has an entire Ginsu catalogue coming out of his face.
