Hard to know the facts with no witnesses, but I had an Elk herd try to run me down and I was able to duck behind a tree.

So does that mean it is acceptable to carry a gun in the park? I thought they weren't allowed.

As for the cow elk, guess the tree wasn't big enough to hide behind and not shoot?

I have had an cow elk run after me as I was crossing a park in EV and turned and faced her and she stopped. If I had a walking stick or something with me I would have used it to look bigger. When I turned and started walking she came after me again so I turned and faced her again and this time walked backwards, always facing her until I was able to get further away. She could have easily have used her hooves but facing her in this instance kept her from doing anything. Glad it worked.

Whoops. I don't know how to get the video of a cow elk chasing a runner in Evergreen.

Yes on those videos we can't embed but the link works! Thank you.

Check a fact before it becomes a fact.

They recently changed the rules about concealed carry in National Parks. Not all Parks are safe from human predators and National Parks in Alaska you have to worry about bears.
