Bull Elk vs. Horse

🤣🤣🤣

I let out an ugly laugh.

BEST COMMENT

disappointed he called Prancer a son of a bitch though 😕

LOL

It was cornered, it would run away if it wasn't for the cage. This or get messed up badly or killed in one charge by the Elk.

@Coyote Plays do you see the antlers? It's a young Bull Elk. They are wired to fight for territory and mates - the scars tell a story. He will charge a human, a horse and a moose if need be and they rarely yield. Beautiful animals.

@@stoked9004 He will charge a horse a human and a moose and will rarely yield but a little old man tossing his floppy slipper at it broke the fighting spirit of the mighty beast! 😂😂😂

She was just eating his hay like nothing was gonna On

@@stoked9004 if that horse turns on him and kicks it, which that horse can spin and kick faster than that elk can charge then its lights out. Horse have killed alligators and large cats with ease. Edit: either way it be a good fight to see, specially if the horse was a mustang.

No lol

Horse: 👁️👄👁️ Elk: 😏

@@liondynamics8878 moose are not WAY bigger... I hunt both. They are bigger but not by a ton. huge bull moose can be 1600 pound, huge bull elk can be 1300 pounds.

@@MrLordromanian Bull elk get to 5 feet tall at the shoulder, max. Bull moose can get up to *7 ft* at the shoulder. Dunno about you, but I'd classify a 2 ft height difference as 'way bigger'.

The first time I saw elk was driving down the highway at night in Texas during a cross country trip. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep. Then I saw these guys grazing in the median and by the side of the road, and I realized that if I hit one of them crossing the interstate, it was all over for me, my passengers, and the car. I woke up pretty quickly.

@@carlericvonkleistiii2188 Lol, talk about a hell of a wake-up call! XD

@@carlericvonkleistiii2188 yeah we don't get anything that big in UK

WiZzZarD MonK hahaha ikn. The look the elk gave him 👀👀👀

“CHONKLA!”

human: * throws another one. * Elk: understandable. Have a nice day.

🤣🤣

I remember watching a fuller video of this somewhere else. If I remember the elk was horny and confused and mistook the white horse for a possible mate, as it was "tasting" the white horse earlier. Then the brown horse showed up and that's why they are standing off.

I mean its an Arabian.. they're job originally entailed carrying men over the desert sands. Theyre extremely strong and sturdy.

Both: but not as weird as that one horse/elk throwing shoes at me

"Flexing"

I have some relatives I've seen do the same thing

Haha the horse never pinned his ears or froze or anything so he wasn't really stressed. He was more like hey forest bro, I don't want to play cod right now I'm eating and the elk tried to steal a fry but then said cool cool

@@stillstymied He did briefly at 1:10 and 1:12, and this whole video was them fighting. The horse seemed to fight because he didn’t want his food stolen.

@White Raptor News Interesting...Thanks.

Even decent sized dog can go over 5 foot fence.

@@andriosz I've never seen a dog clear a 5' fence without touching it. And I've never seen a thousand pound dog.

@@ronlawrence5021 Horses can do it and they are smaller then elk.

When I was 10 yrs old riding on the back of my grandfather's snowmobile one afternoon. We had been messing around having fun on the snowmobile which was the newest and fastest. We came the into the second meadow over the crest of the edge of what we called the gravel pit, it looked just like it sounds. We can up over the edge and before we could comprehend what happened an elk had jumped up over us on the snowmobile. It was snowing heavily so I think we came across the meadow and suddenly we were right there and he jumped so we didn't crash into him. He was huge and easily cleared us is all I can remember.

Rudolph finds Santa at the Horse House

HA!

it's an elk not a reindeer

😂😂😂

@@redux467 it’s called a joke, ever heard of it snowflake

And then looks up like fr dude? What's that thing supposed to do

1:40 😂

Haha

Is...is that it.....

The comment I've been looking for 🤣

Probably a bit of both. A kick from a horse can do serious damage, but those antlers aren't anything to scoff at either. I'd say it'd go to the horses, on account of the fact that there are two horses in the video, but in a 1 on 1 it could go either way.

That elk would impale that horse in an instant without the barrier separating them.

@@patmost9982 will those antlers break or will it pierce and break ribs? Curious there arent any moose or elk where i live

Lol this is funny. You act like the elk doesn’t have 15 horns coming out of its head that would impale the horse. Y’all think it’s funny and y’all are saying “ get him girl” to the horse but an elk would do terrible things if it wasn’t for the fence.

The elk was playin I go hunt them every weekend on the season’s

If it wanted the food the elk would have hit it

Good point

Looks like he was trying to get easy food as well from the horses

Maybe he be with the horses then He's kind of an ass

Wait, so you're saying this is only a TEENAGER? Geez i've never seen an elk before because we don't have one in our country so I'm really surprised of how big they are. I've always thought they were like, 2x bigger than a regular deer.

Hes a good 7 point hes old for sure. Young bucks dont have that many antlers.

Taste better, too

I saw a National Geographic special that was trying to locate a pack of wolves that they knew were in the area, as they were relocating they were walking down a gravel road and out pops this bull moose. The N.G. Photographers had never seen a moose before and now they were all of about 50 feet away from a very large bull with big antlers. They starred at each other for about 10 seconds and the moose slowly walked away but stayed on the road. The N.G. guy later said that he did not realize that moose were THAT big, he said it looked like a giant horse on steroids with antlers on it. I guess the big mature bulls are around 1500-1800 lbs, as a point of reference the bull Elk is around 700-1000lbs a big moose is about 7’ tall at the shoulder an elk about 4 1/2’. The horse might want share some of what was in that mesh bag if that was a moose.

Yep a moose will make a clydesdale look like a pansy.

Small horse though

@@svtirefire those are the tastiest

Elk in snowy regions were like horses used totravel feed by humans etc ... it was about the food and attention affection humans give

Probably thinking buddy you need new shoes ask the real santa

Arab elk confirmed?

Elk in Austin Powers voice: A Shoe???? Honestly who throws a shoe, you fight like a woman.

Right? Oh please a sandle? Really?

Santa whos side you on!?

😂😂😂😂

That man has no sole ! 😄

@@harrismiller1948 amazing

Horses take shit from noone

Until they get a faceful of antler.

@@Highley1958 if they get the strike in time. You'll notice that horse watching for the charge motion and turning to kick. Horses can knock out full grown bulls mid charge if the horse is old enough.

its not like they have a choice, they're in a tiny pen lol

@@user-qe7xh2xp9x well they could’ve cowered on the other end. All I’m saying is I observed that the horses were engaging and seemed in afraid which I think is cool.

Wow/ quite a memorable experience! Cheers🍻

😂😂😂

I saw that too. Had me cracking up 😆

It worked tho

@@yuniw5023 Human used SHOE. *It's super effective!*

@@bossfan49 Elk, staring at them with exasperation; you know I have a head chock full of knives, right?

You made my day spit coffee out my nose reading this one lol. What was the plan chief lmao

Reminds me of George W. !

LOL! 🤣

I remembered Bush

actually sounds like something he could have said lmao

one should not read that with mouth full of liquid...almost spit on my screen

The elk was like "oh the humans and horses are together, I'm outta here".

"Did you just FUCKIN' litter, in my own living room!?"

For sure, that was such a human reaction from the elk. "Cmon...a shoe? Wtf?!"

It reminds of Austin Powers 'who uses a shoe?'

Yeah that elk wouldn't really hurt that horse if it had the chance, I had no idea elk were so big, this one is pretty much the same size as the horse

Technically, it couldn't because it's caged in.

The elk is most likely young and was bullied out of the herd by the older elk, and probably doesnt know what a human is.

@Skeeter G-19 Soo... You've never seen a horse fight huh.

@Skeeter G-19 horse wins m8

You even made a rhyme _right there_ too!

You don’t say!

I thought the horse said nayyyy

That elk was not interested in the hay. clearly it's rutting season and he wanted to brawl. It's in his blood in September. If you look at the elk's left side facing the obnoxious lady filming, you can see he's been on the receiving end of another elk's antlers.

@@pwprochazka Could’ve been a jackalope attack.

Yeah.

The elk was in rut. The little bay horse was probably a stallion which is why he and the elk were challenging each other. The larger calm, grey horse who was paying no attention to them was probably a mare.

@@sjbock If that Elk was in rut things would have been much more intense. He looked to be the typical Alberta/Montana suberb Elk.

The Elk wanted what the horse was having and the horse didnt want to share any shit, horse: better eat this shit quick"

Pretty intelligent animal. Knew the elk couldn't get to it.

@Mike Studmuffin Is it? Doesn’t look like a mustang in the face or jaw to me, but I’m no expert. It does look small like a mustang.

@@dshepherd107 It's an Arabian. They have small dipped faces. They're one of the smaller horse breeds but incredibly strong.

I Like Horse meat

Awesome story! Glad your alright & blessings to you both, dogs are vicious when necessary. I had an english pointer that busted out of my camper middle of winter and followed me to the river without me knowing until a mountain lion came face to face with me. I looked over to my right and there was my dog!! Barking, pointing, and the cat lifted his huge paw and reared up and jetted! I don't know how my dog got out but all the heat was gone from the camper because the door was open and I didn't fish that day because I was shaking like you and hugging my dog for his protective nature.

I'm so glad you're OK,you and your doggie.

WOW ! my muscles would have been jello after 46 mins of a standoff like that !!

I had a bull walk right up to and past me in Yellowstone when I was twelve it was so amazing he didn’t even acknowledge my presence like I was a peasant meanwhile my mom next to me was shitting herself and dragging me away by my arm it hurt she had to do that a lot that vacation I chased a grizzly bear tried to befriend a coyote got stabbed by a tree and bled everywhere I think there’s a reason they haven’t wanted to go back now that I think of it

@@hellosweetheart3350 meanwhile my coonhound is terrified of turtles.....

😂🤣 hilarious

The horse was also given vibes that he wanted to turn around and give him a kick. Witch they will do easily when threatened. It would’ve been an interesting fight.

Horse probably has steel shoes on all four feet, which can add to the damage he/she could do. It's good there was a fence between them, which I think the horse recognized/realized and she/he could see the problem more calmly.

@@debbys-abqnm4537 if they were to fight horse will win they have strong legs to kick elk are weak legs and antlers are useful but not against a horse

@@aarongonzalez4458 -- those are good observations and thus good arguments. Perhaps the horses, having watched humans more closely, also have developed good fighting strategies. Horses are no pushovers: I saw a brief video, somewhere here on YT, of a horse fighting of a mountain lion, who was probably quite surprised at losing that painful encounter.

Who knows what their life's like when the camera's off. 😕

@@TheCatnipCinema they look like hippies in the woods, probably really fun people.

@@TheCatnipCinema Those horses are well fed, have perfectly clean shiny fur and good muscle build so you can be 100% sure they are taken exemplary care of. Also the Arabian horse breed is expensive af so they for sure not gonna let anything scratch these gems. The elk on the other hand can be glad nobody had a gun.

Yet this guy wants to throw rocks at it. It's just hungry and sees food.

Mythic indeed. A little human boy got lost in the woods, in the Winter. He found a tree with wide, thick branches that acted like an umbrella to protect him from the falling snow, but the cold of the blizzard was going to kill him. The next day, rescue searchers found him, and to their shock, he was alive. He survived the night of freeing temperatures.. When they asked how,..he said 2 Elk showed up to his tree, and both of them laid around the boy, keeping him warm. Naturally they thought he was just hypothermic, and confused. ..Til they seen the spot he bedded down for the night,..and they saw the spot where the 2 giant elk also escaped the blizzard, under the same tree, and huddled around the boy. Of all the trees they could've chosen,..one without a human under it,..they still chose his tree, and laid next to him. SO they really are a mythic creature.

As a Washington state native, I’m glad you got to experience this. One of my favorite things about living up here (Issaquah) is that nature is RIGHT there. It’s awesome. Have a good one, mate.

Had the pleasure of going to Paradise on top of Mt Rainier while stationed at JBLM. After trekking around I was headed back to my car at nightfall and I remember a bull deer or elk or I dunno - not a hunter, just knew it was BIG - just standing there on the trail letting a few other people walk by and take pictures like it was Bambi's dad there specifically for the photo op. It was crazy amazing to see and so I share your sentiments.

I live in northern California, along the coast...can always find herds of momma elks and their calves feeding at the end of the ocean high tide mark and edge of the Redwoods.Its incredible, up to 30 in a herd.Females are about half the size of a mature bull

Yeah but we cheat and have guns. But that was a beautiful and true as fuck story. We ain't shit without out weapons.

@@bgifford1969 why do Southerners continue to think they're the only people with guns? Just because y'all get rock hard over your gun fetish does not mean rest of the country is gun free....you 🤡

True, assuming the horse doesnt kick his face in first, It is possible.

@@BIGmlems so... Never raised horses, huh?

An elk won't use its antlers to attack other animals, it will lock horns and wrestle other bull elk for dominance (the same way a white tail, caribou, red deer and moose do) and aside from that, it's a factor in whether a female is willing to mate. If that horse wasn't there, the elk probably still would have "won" that fight, it's bigger, way more muscular, and they're very sturdy animals. They can shake off grizzly bears, wolves and coyotes. Horse would get knocked over once or twice and have probably given up. Elk have evolved to fight, a horse hasn't, although it's way faster than an elk.

That’s what I was thinking

@@N_manMETA11 Even an 800-pound "lighter breed" horse outweighs a 700-pound bull elk. A horse kicks with a force of 2,000 PSI, a blow like that to the head can kill a tiger. That bear that got "shaken off" by an elk was a younger grizzly, still a relatively inexperienced hunter. Look up the footage of a wild stallion attacking an alligator if you seriously think a horse can't fight.

Underrated 🤣

Bro I’m dead 😭💀💀

When I first noticed him I thought 'another female', then I saw him turn. Whooops! It's not like I was paying close attention to the people, lol...

That's why all animals subject themselves to people, they see the beards men grow, women's hair, and bow in admiration.

Or a shovel and a rock

@@alovelydeadfish I dunno, that's a lot of sharp points on the one end to be whacking with a shovel on the other end of. But, guess it'd be better than a house shoe.

Seeing as there is probably no other food source it's not a shocker

@@montieluckett7036 I mean banging the rock with the shovel to make noise and scare it away, works on moose so probably work on an elk.

@@alovelydeadfish Only thing I ever done with a shovel was dig a hole or whack something, or someone, with it. In my twilight years I have tried to steer shy of either one if'n I could help it. That's what God made the young'ns for, in my estimation.

@@mlolvera91 That's what I thought. He was trying to take the horse's FOOD.

They're probably out camping, a lot of camp sites have corrals for horses, and who's to say that these horses are just having outside time. Idk about you but I don't know an elks schedule of when they decide to wander onto a camp site, do you??.

That's horrible hunting logic the horses would never trust you and you would scare them shitless

Because Bob knows how much $$$ it would cost to fix or lose his horse.

Yeah, I think that elk was probably a neighbor of theirs and they probably saw each other regularly, so he knows they mean him no harm. He just wants some of the horse's food. He knows he's not supposed to get any but he's just throwing a little hissy fit... he ain't really wanting to hurt horsey.

Maybe give it CORVID..? *shrugs *

It did. It distracted the elk long enough for him to be able to throw a second shoe at him

Yeah, like girls. They should share the pussy cat's food with the dogs.
