Too Closer for comfort? Elk bugling!
It looked like amature home video. Excellent camera work!
The closest I've ever been to a live elk was 5 yards, and that was a cow last August. Even that gets the heart going.
The closest bull was 15 yards, a 6X6 bugling, stompin' his feet and rippin' up the trees! That one was in August of 05.

once in new mexico I was set up calling when a cow and a calf came in- my hunter { seeing only a cow} decsided to take a picture of them when the flash went off the cow got so interested in it she came and stuck her head literally under 2 ft from his head and about 3 yds from me! it was awsome I've seen them do the same to my game camera, go up and get a close face shot from chicking it out
It really puts their size in perspective when they get that close, doesn't it?
When my son video taped my hunt last August, his concern was that the bull was going to run over him when I arrowed him. He told me later that he had scoped out a cople of escape routes as the bull approached him. The bull was 35 yards from me and less than 20 yards from the camera (and my son!) when I arrowed him! Fortunately the bull took a route away from my son after the shot.

That's a great video.
A few years back we ran into a group of cows and calves on Panguitch. I set up with a tree on my back and let out a few calls and instantly the calves came running down the hill right up to us. One of the calves walked right into me and almost tripped. They were all real young and most still had their spots. Neat experience.
