Wild Elk Attacks Family In Estes Park

[BallsworthBallsbury]

Women: they just never know when to shut their fucking pie hole.

Thought: "I don't want to provoke this animal"

Action: squealing like a fucking pig

Conclusion: women are retarded.

(the guy sat quietly)

[nomadtraveller100]

the woman sure has a potty mouth

[LadyCadbury]

You're on THEIR land!

[mrsoldoubt]

That is SO WEAK!!! it didn't attack you, you moron!

[southernrockfan1]

I had to chukle this was funny

[Jeavey]

lots of idiot tourists in this world! and great language to put on the internet!

[AngelBecca29]

jeez they were just trying to cross the street.

[stett99]

humans have definately d-evolved

[mattokc]

This is freaking HILARIOUS! Whoever your family is, i love you guys. You remind me of the Griswolds from "National Lampoon's Vacation." "Clark, take off your hat! Dumbass!"

[Coloradoyouthguy]

The red hat was not an issue and he was nowhere near ready to attack

[MacsBlackRaven]

gould thing you took your red hat off!!!

[exhaleshishalounge]

YOU WOULD THINK IT WAS A T-REX........

[foleacruz]

Honk for $10 ... Hahahaha..

[bstednick]

the elk in estes park are so unhealthy... a fully mature elk like that should not have antlers that thin... it is sad the amount of injuries and occasional death caused by little if any management of these elk...

[utrose4321]

you guys, this was NOT an elk attack - only curious about all the racket coming from inside the vehicle.

[windrivercountrykid]

Catchy title no?

[nancycccslp]

It

Walked

Past

You

I'm sorry if you needed fresh undies, but the elk in Estes Park are so used to tourists, cars, people etc. that they just stroll on by. You were IN YOUR CAR. You were never in danger.

[jgmclees]

Actually, sometimes people get more involved with the Elk than they planned. The Elk sometimes assumes someone (a person) might be a threat (they are thinking about only one thing at this time of year). This year (2009) there were several "attacks" in Estes Park (reported on the local TV news).

[nancycccslp]

Oh, absolutely true! My point was that these people were in their car, the elk walked past, there was no encounter and to label this an "attack" was just foolishness. I've spent a lot of time in Estes (looove it) and since we never approach the wildlife and back away if approached we've never had a problem. I've seen idiots basically chase the elk and then be shocked when the elk spin on them. And during the Rut, special care must be taken. Couldn't agree more.

[rocinante15]

when elk get ready to attack their ears are laid back. no laid back ears here

[dbhammond]

I think it's pretty sad to see their habitat encroached upon by housing developments, roads, and gaggling tourists.

[EJBRA]

nice language in front of your kids, us jackasses are the ones on our way to work and don't stop to harass the elk.

[waypasthadenough]

What a bunch of citiots.

I don't know which ones are worse, the "Oh they cute widdle animals won't hurt anyone" crowd or the ones who mistake curiosity or disinterest for an 'attack.'

[coriochoa13]

Tourist much?

[Celly222]

haha he was checking you out in there bigtime.

[Rednexas]

Oh thats good stuff right there...Poor Gerald took Marge Sweetwater from Ferris Bueller's Day Off out into the wilds of Colorado and gave her a camera. The elk were probably after the hotdish in the cooler, ya? I have laughing tears for real.

[Fenianboyo]

HAHAHAHA!!!!

Classic...Oh Golly! Drive down in da crick, down in der Gerald....Oh for the Love of Pete!! It's comin' right for us!! OH GOD, OH CRAP!!

[offroader5]

First off...yes it is an elk. Second...what attack?

[LORDBECKETTRAY]

funny as hell i was cracking up.....at 47

[xxander39]

aren't elk color blind? I dont think the Red hat makes a difference either way, it was probably the smell of retardation that brought them close.

[pkrkrish]

That was funny

[1oldschool70]

Outta state foreigners. All of them. One of these days,somethings gonna happen,and they'l blame the elk.

[armadillodude2992]

that wasn't an attack!!! get your facts right

[Pungdyret]

Thats not a elk..

[sadlowsky]

lol well if it is not an elk what is it?

[nateman20]

what is it then?

[HerosWing]

I would like to ask the same question...wat is it then?

[filmerado]

"Scenic drive?" Place looks like a bunch of blacktop and ugly prefab houses. The only scenery is the elk you provoked.

[IceBlade333]

elk do not have horns they have antlers

[shillner]

[JEC18159]

[BAR006JBTS]

@Poduske I would have loved this, I'm English and the closest we get to that is Red Deer but they're not half as impressive

[jeffday]

"What if he gets mad and brings his horn right through our glass? Oh, god here comes the other one!" HA...
