[Ravenbunny1220]

that sounded sad.

[wardupyo]

Incredible..... anyone who's never seen this first hand, I can't recommend it enough. Simply awesome!!!!!

[50slut]

amazing beasts these animals are!!!!

[TheLaHogFan]

Old age and treachery overcomes youthful enthusiasm once again! Go get laid, big guy, you earned it!

[Judy2Day]

Limping, the old bull elk still fights for his harem...

[buzzzz1964]

Awesome vid.

Thanks for posting.

[punkrckr6889]

Don't mess with another man's women. Especially if that man is an angry Elk.

[LBCNU]

nativelandprod, the trees are not dieing. This is damage from the terrible Yellowstone Fire of 1988 which burned 3,000,000 acres. These fine pines don't grow overnight!

[nativelandprod]

notice the trees all dying in the area

[sodabob]

@nativelandprod This video would have been taken in the fall, trees might have just lost their leaves for the winter...

[satguy11]

Just like some horny assholes I know. As soon as you turn your back they are trying to steal your women.

[footballawesome]

That ones a brute, obviously hes already been in some fights, hes a limper

[Retired152]

CowtownJohn....I recognize that sound too! Btw....great job of filming...not any chatter, no camera shake.....very professional and thanks for the post.

[HeidiJosh21]

what a bamf!!!! i'm just saying!!!!

[Aure88330]

Fighting in a river...

Classic.

[jp0484]

the beginning reminds me of the polar express

[RoadDog6]

Strike first strike hard and show no fear! That second bull that ran in there decided that he didn't want any of that either. The old bull may be limping but he's still the badest thing in the valley!

[Walnut28Comms]

The "winner" must be a really great lover to keep all his women w/ so much competition....because he's really limping badly. One tough dude.

[CowtownJohn1]

How on earth can such a huge animal make such a wimpy screechy noise? Sounds like my ex wife on trash day.

[wilsomc01]

I really want to fish that run 

[MrCurtisass]

If i was there, id walk out in that water an breakem-up..an tell'em yall stop that fightin!!

[TheMarcthehunter]

I'd see him in my living rom anytime!

[MPSecare]

nice rack!

[kunkle493]

MY GOODNESS! That rack would be beautiful in my living room ;)

[76gjackson]

Awesome video, thanks.

[hyaenidae]

Wow! Even with the bum leg, he still beat off all the smaller bulls. That's one tough mother!

[roasted7]

He seems to be limping and unable to really run. May have won this battle but if that leg injury didn't heal quickly then he's pretty much wolf meat by now.

[Timmotron]

Thanks for posting that. Except for the surprising (for me) screeching, that was awesome.

[gypsyrose54]

Pegs & I will b looking @ the whole video. That video is incredible.

[FilmerOfBobcats]

Isn't it amazing that an animal that big makes such a high pitched sound?  I was astonished the first time I heard one!

[goeb1133]

The wolves have him by now

[tuttliputtliful]

it almost seems as if they got into the water consciously knowing about the dramatic effect it would cause. hey, it just looks better, gotta impress the girls watching!

[wendy59828]

great footage ... they are so tough. no, leg is not actualy broken, looks like there is some heavy swelling around hte pastern joint (ankle). I have seen bulls and bucks limping like this during rut too ... just imagine the number of stabs , pokes, twists they take in a fight... it's amazing the smaller bull did not drown !

[deniseguzzardo]

he might be lame but he still is is the bad ass!

[kevlarunderware]

they look pretty tasty

[BlondasWorld]

wow

[yttalyes]

wow

[MontanaHunting17]

First off that Elk's leg is not full on broke. I've seen Elk limp likes this through the rut and be fine the next spring

[ShadowWolfFIN]

Hell yeah, Great video. I have been trying to tell my friends that how scary elk/moose can be. That screaming voice with forest rustling (something coming towards you) in forest with cold and dim weather.

[7758775877587758]

the winner's left front leg is broken already though:)

[Dojocho]

probably the best video on you tube..I am history professor Osaka University, Japan and spent few years in Montana ...So lucky to live and see such a beautiful happening of nature.

[jpj196]

that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dojocho]

seems like fighting in the water helped the bad legged elk there he could use his size...smart

[hm0ngg1rl1]

man ! there voices are soo screechyy .

[Pingbo97]

Heh it's elk puberty.

[SlyClay117]

I like how the third bull runs up and the cows get in the river to get by the winner stag with the limp and that third bull was all "Nope, I'm not that desperate." and fled like the hounds of Hell were on his tail while the winning bull bugled and yelled at him.

[natebunn]

pretty good fight saw the same fight these two fight quite a bit

[ptakvm]

That's the best video of elk bull's fighting I've seen yet!

[firescharm]

Elk with the limp wins. Huge rack he has though. He's the boss.
