The elk was very ill look at the way it’s walking. Maybe arthritis cancer or something else the animal did not want to live any longer. .
That was the elk's final act of defiance. "Try packing me out of this ravine now hunter dude!"
To the haters: I never shot anything i didn't clean and eat, but I confess to liking being in the outdoors and the challenge of the hunt more than the kill. In my later years I have switched to hunting with a camera. The camera has the advantage that you can go out and shoot them again the next day!
Hi everyone
love seeing all the whiny liberals in the comments crying 😭
my son-in-law is a hunter, what he kills he eats. He's not a trophy hunter. You can't put all hunters in the same catagory.
Obviously, someone shot the elk, and now it's unaccessible.
who would eat something that has busted guts?
maybe a snake kissed the deer legs
I can't believe what I just saw,😣💔
Well the meat is tenderized👍
It was C-walking
if you look closely it appears as though there's something going on in the hindquarters of the animal, like an arrow possibly I'm not quite sure, but if you look closely you can see something back there
there nothing here, saying anyone shot this elk..animals die everyday, from natural causes, ....and yes, its possible some hot and wounded this Elk, but nothing in video, indicates that's what happened.
animal had the wasted brain disorder disease
What was it drunk? 😂
I'll climb down to see if he's dead then I'll take the neck, head and horns get it mounted. Tell everyone this is my 1st Elk I killed.. 😆
was he drunk ?
That’s sooo sad!!
that's very sad.
Recovery of your meat is not impossible. It sucks that the elk stumbled its way into the hole, but, all it takes is some rope, and some assistance, and a winch or a come-along. No way I would let hundreds of pounds of venison just go to waste! God put these animals here for our food, true. Perhaps, He also put this test before you to see if you could overcome this adversity!
the other elk told him they could fly over on the cliff but the only thing is you have to run down side ways 😂😂😂😂😂
He already shot him, that’s why he was staggering. That’s why he can’t get an easy pack out.
Looks like it could have been rabies.
poop is not holy
Does this hurt the elk?
Cocaine Elk
He was either shot, or he has a brain disease.
🙏 poor elk.
Oh my god! That poor thing! Did it just lose its balance maybe?
Poor thing
CWD
I'm pretty sure he was shot. And it wasn't a clean shot either or he would have dropped where he stood. Sad thing is, it's probably gonna be left there unless that ravine has safe access. Sad really.
chronic wasting disease and if it jumps species to humans were screwed
mad cow has been going around in deer and elk if your a hunter check the brain and lungs if lungs have white puss packs it has tuberculosis both are running crazy in populations in USA if brain has holes eaten in it has mad cow
It looks to me like he stumbled then off-balanced began to slide sideways never gaining purchase and falls over the edge. Nothing intentional. Just nature.
Might as well go down there and end its suffering he could be in pain for days
well looks too me the Elk was sick and the guy looks too be hiking not hunting and people go hunting too put good food in there freezer not just for antlers
well its tenderized
crazy to see
are you Santino Castillanos
Venison is delicious if it's healthy. This wasn't.
poor thing!
Archery, loss of blood weakness?
I try very hard to get one a little closer to the way out plus no deep holes or canyons. Looks like you are going to. be working for that one. 🤔
He ate too many berries from the aldaberry tree and got snookered
Looks like he didn’t make a clean kill & of course the animal is the one that suffers. He didn’t make a b-line to finish him off & made him suffer. Rule is you have to end his misery. Shouldn’t even have a permit for hunting!!!!!!! That folks is my Opinion!
parasites
Nothing wrong with hunting old bulls as it keeps heard healthy and don’t make the next producers pregnant by dad or Brother.
Dam he just gave up on it all 😭🥺🤣
The elk was I’ll look at the way it was walking, it had to have found some fent or som
Drunk of bad apples or brain damage
Snake bite? Funny mushrooms? Spider?
no need to use gutter language 🤨
aiaf
crowd surfing.... what album was he listening too?
snake bit
Way to pretenderize your meat there, big guy😅
maybe an arrow through the heart😂😂
I think it's called rabies
zombie virus
They tend to do that after a bunch of bullets
sad
Could be he already shot it and it was wounded.
That's one animals that won't get retrieved. Too much effort. Let it go to waste.
was he shot 🤔
it may have already been shot
Where the hell did you think he would go? Uphill😂😂
