Very cool picture. I've seen small bulls doing that a few times.

They must have known your camera was right there! That's a pretty cool pic.

Nice picture. =D>

I swear that cow elk have to be some of the most ill tempered animals around. I've seen them fight like that over water holes, salt licks, and just to fight.

I'll admit that it is very funny to watch though.

Cool picture.
On a trip to Hardware Ranch two years ago a couple got to fighting and they ended up kicking the sleigh we were in. It was funny, cool, and a little scary as well considering my little kids were sitting right near where the hooves were hitting the rails.

 Is Hardware Ranch up in northern Utah and they take you out on sleighs to where the elk are feeding on hay bales? I remember something like that from when I was real young, but forgot about it until now!!

 Yeah, it's just east of Logan up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. It's a great place to take the kids to go see a couple hundred head of elk on a winter Saturday morning. They usually have a couple of pretty nice bulls there are well, which are cool to see.
