You must not spend much time in elk habitat during the rut. They get very, very aggressive. Everything is fair game. Including us. Not that this is a common problem or anything, but it is best to avoid all manner of cervid during their rut. Even the lowly, gentle white tail has killed more than a few guys. Not so much the wild ones, but the game farmed ones. Sweet justice in a way, I suppose.
I hear they are particularly put off by poor taste in hats. Best to wear a snappy one.
