Holy...!

[Sytes]

Cyclists stopped in tracks by giant elk, and it's 'awesome'

What is with this park!?!? Seems if there's a mega bull, it's RMNP more often than not!

Almost looks like a fake duplication because it's close to surreal .. haha!

How'd you like to ride into this twilight zone episode?

 

[Southern Elk]

Any of those would be the bull of a lifetime!

Nice

Taste about the same.

Old Fall River Road, I grew up near there.

Taste about the same.

You've eaten Clydesdale? Sooo jealous.

 

[Shangobango]

Nice. I would have definitely yielded the ROW. Those first few were really nice. About how much antler do they still have to add at this time? Comparable to whitetails as far as a percentage of antler growth left? Less because they lose velvet earlier?

I can never get worked up over the elk in the park or Estes, feels like I'm looking at pen raised animals. They do get big though

 

[bmt99]

Beautiful animals.

Wait...aren't they supposed to be at least 1/2 mile off the road?

I’m neutral on both elk in Parks and e-bikes (I think I see the battery at the end of the clip). I am glad folks have an opportunity to see things they may never witness otherwise.
I do prefer seeing a group like that (if not while hunting) when they come out of the wilderness to their winter range knowing there is the slim chance of meeting up with one next hunting season.
You are correct Jay. I’ve seen a couple whitetail farms in Alberta that I just shook my head in awe but feel like it ain’t real.

That's awesome! I feel like that's what happens to me the day before opener as I drive into my unit. And to never be seen again...

That's pretty much what you can expect with a Colorado OTC elk tag.

Dammit oak, you getting kickbacks from CPW?

If it's anything similar to a $500 wilderness helicopter sandbar permit for this "OTC" tag...

No, kicks in the back.
