They sure can get nasty this time of year (rutting season). I guess he thought the motorcyclist was gonna steal his doe.

I thought the elk was going to think the motorcycle's mirrors were its antlers and ram it but they got away ok. It went from a thrilling suspense to a comedy in seconds

My mom and dad were going up through Newcastle on their way to the Black Hills and had one go after their car. They are extremely aggressive when in rut.

They have gone after my dog! Neighbors must have thought I was being murdered by the way I was screaming at the time :eek:
And they did gore the dog that lived behind us a few years back :(

Nice! :thumbup:

I think it could have caught the bike if it would have stayed off the road :D Just not enough traction without studded hooves.
