Yes, this is my kind of story.
Even though it is not about Bears.
This time, it is about Elk. (Some of my best friends are Elk.)
Oh, and make sure you've got your sound turned on, so you can hear the Elk conversation (and other things).
This really Bears noting.

So glad you've dropped by the Bear's den. Please leave a note -- getting notes is such fun, and often informative. I'll get back to you, here or by e-mail, as soon as I can (or, if it's winter, after I wake up). 'Til then, please Bear with me.

That is very interesting and very dangerous. 500 to 1500 elk and it is only a matter of time until someone gets killed or injured.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!!! You would think they would be a little more fearful of people and cars, but they just act like they own the place. And, I guess they do. Very nice post.
ReplyDeleteI loved looking at this video and feel bad for the elk. They were here first....and I do wish that they had more room to run and play and interact and be elk without having to deal with the tourists.
ReplyDeleteWonderful footage. I love the Elk although I don't have to live with them! In my Tennessee mountain home, where I'm heading tomorrow! we have a new addition - an elk skin mounted on the wall. It is new and I can't wait to see it. I don't approve of hunting so I'm hoping the elk died a natural death, but I am looking forward to admiring the skin.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the video Bear! It is truly amazing how the Elk share their space. I had a good laugh at the end when the Elk made all of those grown men running!! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleterob-bear, i have some problem with a video not getting locked but i saw enough to get a majestic feel for this animal. is it good that they are so comfortable in the urban landscape of cars and traffic and humans? makes me wonder.
ReplyDeletehere's hoping you are well and thanks for a beautiful post.
love

® Blog Fodder: You'd have to be a Bear to want to tangle with one of those big fellas.
ReplyDelete® MJWC: You're right; they do own the place. It was there before it was ours. They keep reminding us of that reality.
® Teacher's Pet: You've said the truth, Jacquie. Sadly.
® Star: Those Elk are fine critters. Elk hide — probably not taken from an animal which had experienced a natural death.
ReplyDelete® Diana: As I said to the Blog Fodder, those are big guys. You really don't want to tangle with them. Think of an "encounter" between a fully loaded semi and a VW.
Right; you've go the picture.
® kj: Sorry you couldn't get the video to work for you. Awesome it was!
I'm OK, and I hope you are, too.
Loved it!
ReplyDeleteElk are huge!!!! Do people eat elk? I know they eat moose.
ReplyDeleteNice blog! I am your newest follower.
ReplyDeletea bit of activity stirring on blogland lane, mr. bear....
ReplyDeletewow, that is amazing footage! So sad but I can certainly see why people would be curious and want to see them.
ReplyDelete® Irish Eyes: Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDelete® JJ: Thanks for joining in.
chrome on the Range is actually my main blog, but you're always welcome here.
® kj: yes, I've seen a bit of activity around my tent.
® Recovering Church Lady: Delightful creatures, Elk. But don't mess with them. They're more unpredictable than Bears.
Watching all those camo-ed guys run for their trucks completely made my day. I spent a wonderful night in Yellowstone listening to elk bugling. In retrospect it was wonderful. But one was standing on my tent.
ReplyDeleteGlad I ran across you blog. Very interesting. And a little whimsical humor doesn't hurt either. :)
ReplyDeleteRob-Bear ~ where was the village where these Elk roam?
ReplyDeleteWe have Elk herds here in Montana too, but haven't seen them in town lately. They are huge and shouldn't be tangled with.
The video was fun to watch, yet isn't it amazing how people think they can get up close?
® Deborah: I have no idea where the town is located. By the uniform on the policeman, I would say somewhere in the US. Washington? Oregon? Montana? Idaho?
ReplyDeleteStop by and wish Johanna a Happy Birthday on Tuesday, December 27!
ReplyDelete®troutbirder: Thanks you for dropping by. I've been having a problem with my computer, so things are just beginning to come back to life.
