Rocky Mountain Elk Bugling

While camping in Rocky Mountain National Park, we awoke to a herd of elk right outside our tent. I shot video of them through the tent, complete with the bull elk bugling. Note how he stares at us at the end!

imagine being in a sound sleep, forgetting where you are and have that sound wake you up and then look out your tent and see that beautiful animal standing right outside your tent,scary but awesome.

True, but they are always too far away to tell, so they look pitch black, and that bugle is kinda spooky.

@outlaw21actual they could but for the most part they will be scared of you, they may only attack if they feel attacked, but they usually run away from you

The one reason I am scared of deer, elk, and moose, their eyes are pitch black, can stare into your soul.
