Two massive elk lock antlers in feisty Colorado fight captured on stunning wildlife footage
We've been on an incredible run here at OutKick when it comes to OutKick Outdoors, nature and wildlife footage.
It never gets old as people are always captivated by animals in their natural habits.....or people behaving like idiots around animals. It's always gold.
That now includes some wild footage of some elk.

Massive elk get into fight.
Good Bull Outdoors shared a video this week on Instagram of a pair of massive elk locking antlers in a feisty scrap in Colorado.
"Our moose steak dinner was interrupted by bugling elk tonight so what do a couple of elk obsessed wildlife photographers do? We pack up the pup and roll out to get some video," the caption states, in part.

It continues, "Crazy doesn’t really describe the evening. A big 6x7 bugling while swimming across the lake, a 15 minute long fight, a second fight in a place we could hear but not see, a bull repeatedly walking down the road trying to get to cows inside the fairgrounds, a gunshot coming from the road which we found out was a policeman shooting a wounded elk calf hit by a car, and another bull jumping out towards our truck and nearly hitting it as he ran by. What a night!"
