Elk crossing

What inspired that running approach! Well done.
Unfortunately it will now have an innate fear of crossing fences...for fear of being left behind!

Delightful

It is remarkable how ineffective is the electric fence. Even for the straggler.

most likely, it's not an electric fence, or it would look like:

from what I could see, the fence in the video didn't have any of the energizer things. This web site explains electric fencing more... (of course, the video just may not have shown the energizers on the fence, and it might be electric. But they're much more expensive to put up than regular barbed wire fences...)

I felt bad for the elk. We have a deer who shows up about once a week here at Catlinburg whose right front leg has been broken. I call him Stumpy and he gets around surprisingly well, and looks well fed despite the massive injury. The wound has healed up but left his leg about 1 foot shorter than his other 3 legs. Most likely, he broke it jumping through or over a fence like the elk was trying to do in the video.
