But when the males bugle, the females and babies start walking.

@@alissameade-fields9615 yes they do, I went to listen to a midnight rut in the forests of northern France, our groups shuffling on the forest floor was mistaken for a group of females and babies, big came out the woods like a 🦖 t-Rex he did a quick about face!!!

Me too. 💕

Nature's parade in places where it's respected is beautiful to watch.

What motel? I must make a reservation!

@@lplaney Discovery Lodge is the name of the hotel.

@@JDMc2.0 awesome! Thanks doe the quick reply. 🏔🦌

Where did they come from...

One person out of millions who actually understands! Loaded with simpletons and only one person understands. Those houses and streets are sitting right in the middle of a migration corridor. As usual, humans ruined it. Now the elk are forced to walk on asphalt! Wow, I nevr new that... write, simpletons? (Yes, most of you are illiterate as well... 3rd grade drop-out illiterates)!

@@truthseeker5890 Whatever makes you sleep better..

@@klaushipp1207 I’ve always wanted a name like “Klaus Hipp.” I’ll have to continue to dream. What country did you sneak across the border from? Get your $450K yet? Another one... simpleton incorporated.

@@truthseeker5890 get well soon.

@@truthseeker5890 when I seen your border talk I realized the Simp you are because the people you say took this migration corridor built that border.

We moved here from Saratoga Springs NY, live about 30 min from Estes.

After all they were there first !!!

That seems strange unless the government was attempting to save them from the coming Yellowstone volcano.

Dale Rider put your aluminum hat back on. They move them to diversify the herd.

It's awesome where ever they are! I wonder if they were driven by forest fires, predators, or many hunters?

Tolerated until some kids dash outside to play and a bull elk goes after them.

@@DoubleDogDare54 - Has this ever happened? I'm unaware of it if it has, and seeing elk is a common occurrence in Estes Park.

@@lottasunshine1325 Plenty of videos on YT of bull elk attacking people. Check them out.

Cockroaches and mosquitoes were around before human communities sprang up. Do you see them as intruders and a nuisance or do you welcome their presence?

It is the way of life, both plant and animal, to move into available territory. The species eventually coexist, or they don't. The Homo sapiens and elk of Estes Park coexist successfully, and both species have thrived.

Actually the elk are not seen as a nuisance. They are protected and they more/less run the town. They are never chased away. Cars and people wait until the elk are gone before they can move on. Ask the merchants in Estes Park how much they depend on the elk!

Elk in Estes are not seen as a nuisance. They are neighbors and they are protected. They are always welcomed and respected by the people living there. I don't think elk are seen as a nuisance anywhere in Colorado.

What Coco tastes adorable too.

Well, I'm from exactly where this footage was taken - and I miss it like mad.

Go to Estes Park in September, and early to mid October...you will see plenty ~

I was there for a day in summer 2006 and don't recall any herds of elk. So I was surprised when I saw another UKpostsr post some elk videos recently.

They have an established alpha order. The smaller non dominant elk stay in their places.

🤣

'Cuz yer a person of a different 'elk'.....😉

This is in the fall during the rut. They congregate in the 100's on the Estes (s-tess, not, s-tease) Park golf course to munch on the green grass, take in the sun & feel safe in their #'s. There are a # of herds down there at the same time, but usually the harem bulls let the other bulls know where the lines are, so to speak. One year, they literally did just that! While taking notes, I saw 2 big bulls line up at the far side of the course lawn/fairway & run across, each w/ a tip of their antlers scoring a line in the dirt all the way across to the other side. I was in Estes Park on the way to the RMNP entrance a # of times each fall, but I had never seen that happen before.

@@guineapiglady2841 bull. Male elk are called bulls

@@jordanhicks5131 I don't care!!

@@guineapiglady2841 that's not a very adult way to act when someone politely informs you of the correct term, you have a pleasant day

no, they spread out when they get to the summer feeding ground.

No, when the snowy season hits, they come down to the foothills to browse together.. They fan back out in the summer and head for higher elevations. Come here in the fall if you want to see a lot of elk. They hang out on the elementary school playground and pond across from the Stanley Hotel.

lol lol

Haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaa

Yes, the collars are tracking devices put on by the National Park Service.

@@PiedType How do you think the National Park Service got them on the elk?

Humans moved into their path ! 🙄
