Elk invading Colorado town

Sign in to disble this ad
You folks out west probably know all about wild elk invading towns, but for us back east this is wild to see.

YouTube - Showdown In Elk Town - Human Planet, Cities, Preview - BBC One

Besides posing a danger to humans, it looks like they cause some property damage.

Haha, that's awesome. Up near Sudbury there usually is an assload of moose and sometimes bears.

That is what I'm thinking....

My family ate three whitetail deer last year. I bet your average elk will go as far as three deer.

Yummy, elk.

Fly me over there!! I'm on the Atkins diet, so any meat is good.

That looks like Estes Park. That is where my wife and I are going for our 10th wedding anniversary in a few weeks. And yes, Elk are all over that town year round.

I wouldn't what to be on the sharp end of one of those things, difficult to reason with an elk.

To me judging the video it almost reminds me of cows roaming the streets in India, as a form of deity.

Do folks worship elk in CO?

Or they just like the crappy canada geese all over the town I live in?

No,...tourists are just dumb. I do enjoy watching them fall down as the elk stags charge em.

humans invaded elks town, elk just visiting there old house.. move along.

i've been to wyoming several times and its pretty much like this.. more so with the mule deer than the elk, but pheasants and turkeys get in on the act too.. they just go about there business whether its on the lawn of the library or up in the mountains.

herds of antilope in amongst the cows and deer standing at the gas station.

Ah Estes Park. Home of the Stanley Hotel, longs peak in the distance, and elk. Lots and lots of elk. Plus stupid tourists and their wacky shenanigans. Been their many times, and no the locals don't worship the elks, they profit on them because tourists see elk in "magic elk town" and buy a lot of elk **** (like toys and shirts and stuff). Its a really cool town, but I really only liked the lake, the scots irish festival, and rocky mountain natl park.

Shucks if I lived there and had elk in my own back yard, I be tempted to dispatch one and butcher it up for table fare. Delicious meat right there for the taking.

I suppose the DNR would then come and fine the snot out of you and take away your car, freezer, gun, right arm, etc.

Ah yes. Welcome, flatlander tourists. Come take pics and see how close you can get to our wild elk, up close and personal. Thrills and spills. After wards, we have plenty of souvenir shops available to purchase elk T's, trinkets and what not.

The locals probably install high iron fences or something similar around their garden plots, to keep the critters out.

LOL
