Bull elk in Colorado nicknamed ‘Smash’ is chasing off trucks and golf carts
A bull elk nicknamed “Smash” in Estes Park, Colorado, has been chasing vehicles that come too close during elk rutting season. He has charged a maintenance truck and pursued a golf cart, becoming an entertaining but potentially dangerous local attraction.
Videos recorded by Good Bull Guided show people cheering as Smash confronts vehicles. The behaviour is not new: he reportedly chased golf carts last year and struck one with his antlers, prompting warnings for golfers and drivers to keep moving and avoid approaching him.
