I dunno, some of the vids i saw on youtube today were in residential areas and in most cases the Elk did not seem like they were in any way provoked.

Obviously this is just a small sampling of Elk attacks, but some of them seem to charge with no provocation at all. And hikers or bikers who are not hunting at all can definitely have their day ruined by any number of large animals.

It's not just a case of man intruding and provoking. Based on the attack records that Danimal and i posted today, it seems like some are very much not the victim's fault in the slightest. (not claiming to be an expert, but there are quite a few videos that anyone can watch on you tube and judge for themselves- i posted a few above)

Some of them are ABSOLUTELY the person's fault.
