If a car tried to force it's way through a heard of elk, the car might get through but not unscathed and with thousands of dollars worth of body and glass damage. Bull elk are protective of the heard and cow elk are protective of calves. Antlers and hooves are dangerous weapons when used by an eight hundred to eleven hundred pound elk.
I don't know why we should praise the people who stopped and let them cross the street. It should be done without any question. Wild animals have the most right to be there .
its not a migration, it's the rut season. bulls round up a harem of does for breeding. other bulls try honing in, the dominant bull has too fight off the rivals.
@John Smith You should see what one of these bulls does to a Kia, anyway. BETTER WAIT. I once saw a female Cow elk completely trash a pickup at Yellowstone Park by standing on her rear feet & boxing. NO ANTLERS. Guess they should have left the dog home!
Have you seen the bison do this in Yellowstone? It is beautiful. These animals are beautiful. I'm so glad America is decided to save the bison. It is a sight that takes your breath away.
It actually depends, males tend to lose their antlers in the fall after breeding , but they grow back by spring it's females that have their antlers in winter spring
I lived in Alaska, moose walked around downtown. I live in the NM mountains, and my neighborhood gets deer, mountain lion, coyote, fox walking the streets. Everyone calls the dogs inside. Pretty magical. We have wild horses too. I love living here.
@@sherrykendrick1765 it is a wonder for sure. I haven't seen the horses yet, but they tromp across my garden leaving their footprints, going 90 to nothing. They are welcome here, I planted grasses in the few clearings uphill. Elk are moving in.
Wild horses? Wow In an area of Southern California we have wild burros. Otherwise in certain areas we have black bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and the usual opossums, racoons, and skunks. Oh and there's some neighborhoods with peacocks.
The Moose up in Anchorage will do that sometimes also. And then look at you with a "I'll move when I'm Damn good and ready to move" look. Had one just lay down in the middle of the road once. 😮
Wow..that is awesome! You can see the elders are in control of the move. Some even wearing collar tracking devices to see the migration patterns. Imagine your the house across the street, hear all the commotion, look out the window and see wall to wall elk! Stunning! ❤I’m in awe 😮!
The elk herds are closely monitored to track chronic wasting disease that is easily spread once it infects just one. The western cattlemen know it's just a matter of time before the disease jumps from deer and elk to cattle so they are trying to catch it quick and keep it from spreading. Each herd has a name and number and known territory. They move across the landscape like a singular giant undulating creature, packed shoulder to shoulder with no interior gaps.
@@harleyhawk7959 they said migration patterns, that can mean anything from how animals move across the world or how they move around their territory. Elk are nomadic, they very rarely stay in one place very long and their range can cover thousands of square miles and often move in large groups from one known feeding ground to another. So basically, elk are constantly migrating and bad things happen when they don't. So either way they were right but definitely in the phrasing they used.
I live on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. I’ve been lucky to witness this in my own backyard on a number of occasions. You don’t appreciate how big they are until you step out onto your porch and stare right up into the beautiful brown eyes of one of these gorgeous creatures!
Having lived in Colorado for 36 years, I really missed the elk after I moved to north Georgia. Imagine my surprise when my husband and I drove up to Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few weeks ago. There were lots of elk in the pasture! I was so happy to see them thriving there after so long. Thanks for sharing this Colorado video!
Repatriation of elk within Appalachia began about 20 or so years ago. A buddy of mine worked for the NC DNR told me about it back in 2007. He said the program started in late 90s. I suppose at one time many many years ago elk were in many parts of the eastern woodlands.
@@goatrockhunters8000 I remember reading about this a few years back, but I had no idea the population had grown so much. It was a very pleasant surprise! Thanks for the reply.
@@goatrockhunters8000 Yes, but they were a separate subspeices called the Eastern elk. Those are extinct like the Merriam's elk that once lived in the arid regions of the southwest. Eastern elk were the largest subspecies of elk on this continent. They were browsers instead of grazers like the Rocky Mountain elk. The ones currently in Appalachia are the Rocky Mountain elk subspecies. It's still good to have elk of whatever subspecies, but they are not the original ones that were here.
Having once seen a cow elk give birth, I also witnessed how protective its mother was when approached by another female, calf still freshly born, her mother staved off this other cow's curiosity or interest to protect her own moments of bonding, nurturing, cleaning the young, and licking it dry.
I was lucky enough two years ago to have a large herd come right in front of the car,,,,,and I loved it all. I turned the car off and watched them pass by, and the little ones were so cute. The bulls made sure everyone stayed together, constant communication from start to the very last one. Then when all gathered on the other side...off they went.
@@3023937042 I have some deer across the field where I live and turkeys show up now and then plus we're in the flight way of Canadian geese that's a great sound also!
Absolutely love this!!! Majestic creatures! And, very much social with one another. Noticed the males protecting the females and all the youngsters. Making sure all were moving together. Beautifully amazing.
It’s about reproduction. The bulls in rut and the females are the harem. Other bulls challenge the lead bull. He just tries to keep them for himself. Nature for billions of years. It is all about evolution.
@@moiramccleary actually that may not be it, he probably thinking great another winter on I40 with 200 to 300 dead elk on it. It disgusting to see each winter, but it happens all the time here. Mirrors on cars and trucks going by on I 40 kill them, and some years not so bad, but couple years ago I must of counted close to 1000 dead elk on the side of the roads here. We need more hunters to thin the herds. It's not cruel, it actually better for the herds, keeps them from starving to death. Reason why they trying to cross I 40 for food in the winter,.
@@45newsutah well they may have got here first but no one is actually native American they came from Asia we came from Europe they lost the fight that's just the way it is get the hell over it
When I lived in Genesee, off of I-70 it was not uncommon to find 50+ elk in my driveway every morning. It made getting the kids to school problematic. I just had to sneak out and drive through the herd very slowly…they always moved. They are magnificent animals…HUGE!
I would just turn off my engine and watch these majestic, beautiful creatures pass through regardless of my schedule. Sometimes you just gotta slow down or stop and appreciate being in the moment. "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." - Lao Tzu
Genesis 1:The Sixth Day …24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”…
this is what happens when you take away their land. I live in Co, and I've been to all these places.Even in the metro area Denver u will see bears, deer, all kinds of animals. They need their space too. This time of year you see this, just enjoy the amazing view of nature.
When I lived in Estes Park, we called this the local traffic jam. They are lovely to look at and even more entertaining when tourists try to get close to them thinking they can let them..lol. During mating season and right before winter they can be fierce and unpredictable.
What an awesome a moment....thanks for sharing!!🥰❤👌👍Big Respect to all the patient drivers who simply enjoyed taking a moment to appreciate these gorgeous animals we're SHARING the planet with!!!👏✌❤
Elk don't scream, they bugle. It's one of the most baleful and mysterious sounds in nature when you hear them answering each other across a valley early in the morning.
I lived in Nevada , cycling along highway 159 at Blue Diamond town, always encounter Burros on the street and they’re just hangin in there watching us passing by. Beautiful to see them😮😮😮
What a beautiful sight and sound. There is nothing more beautiful than to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. And it was so nice to see how much respect people have for them. Thank you for sharing this video and so glad it popped up. Living in NYC, the only way to enjoy most of nature is TH-cam.
This is a beautiful fantastic video. I have never seen an elk. I am very impressed on the bucks showing such security in escorting and protecting herd from us. Sounds like great communication skills being applied. Sorry that humans are in their way.
My first thought this must be Estes Park where I saw Elk hanging out on the ice frozen creek by McDonalds! They roam free in Estes Park! They are beautiful too!
Thumbs up to all drivers who respect these beautiful animals and give them the right of way

@@CooManTunes
You're an idiot. Also, check the thread. TH-cam deleted your asinine post.

Nice thought, & of course if necessary, but elk live here all year. No migration.

Love it, so many Elk everywhere. Isn`t nature wonderful ? Thanks for sharing.

Not as wonderful as cars. That's why they're there, and that's why the elk have to be careful. Stop being such a pathetic, overly sentimental pansy.
@@crazyhorse5163 We have to save the bison, they are the best meat for humans to live on...nice and fatty ;) Why the Indians followed them.
@@lisathompson5500 they are already being used for that.
Yes Agree Must Ensure we Care for Nature as Humans and not 🚫 Destroy it?
Thank you to all of those who stopped and respected the elk.
It might not be respect it might be not wanting to total a car
Yes. Bull elk are somewhere close in mass to a cow moose.... p'rhaps more than. Very detrimental to automotive well-being.
A relative hit an elk, totaled the vehicle, almost cost him his life. So respect, yeah.
@@kl4888 Helluva a way to hunt elk. Glad your relation survived.
😂🤣 Have you seen what an elk can do to a car or pickup truck. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Beautiful❤ And the "elders" do a good job of protecting their herd!
Maybe it’s “elkers”?
Crossing Guess!!!
Guards*
@@annap7678😂is see what you did there 😅
Those are “bulls” herding the cows. They’re not protecting them, they’re hoarding them for one reason and one reason only!
This is magnificent! The adults, especially the males with the big racks, keep guard over the little ones so they can cross safely!
An USA is destroying there LAND !!! Sad
Don't piss them off they will kill you! I know they cute and all, but these animals can be deadly if they feel threaten.
It actually depends, males tend to lose their antlers in the fall after breeding , but they grow back by spring it's females that have their antlers in winter spring

Wild horses? Wow
In an area of Southern California we have wild burros. Otherwise in certain areas we have black bears, mountain lions, coyotes, and the usual opossums, racoons, and skunks. Oh and there's some neighborhoods with peacocks.
That one elk just casually walking down the street wondering what all the fuss is about had me 😂
Patroling for babes left behind? Reminding humans about his size and what his antlers can do to a car.
Lol
The Moose up in Anchorage will do that sometimes also.
And then look at you with a "I'll move when I'm Damn good and ready to move" look.
