Golfer shown aiming shots at elk herd; where's the outrage?

A Colorado-based tour company on Monday shared footage showing a golfer seemingly trying to hit elk that had gathered on a driving range.

“This guy was intentionally hitting golf balls at this elk - this was not the first. What would you do?” Good Bull Guided Tours stated Monday via Instagram.

Good Bull Guided Tours specializes in providing elk encounters for clients. The elk that had wandered onto the practice facility included a bull and his harem.

The footage shows the golfer hitting a ball with an iron and narrowly missing the bull elk.

“If you want to keep hitting at the elk, I’ll happily send the video into the cops,” the videographer says to the golfer, as another man blasts a driver down the middle, away from the elk.

As of the time of this post, Good Bull Guided Tours had not responded to an inquiry from FTW Outdoors requesting more information.

Perhaps surprisingly, several people in the Instagram comments section defended the golfer.

“Definitely not going to hurt an elk with a golf ball,” one comment reads.

“It’s a golf range, not an animal sanctuary, if I paid for balls I’m hitting 'em,” another follower stated.

But a few expressed anger at the golfer’s careless actions.

Reads one comment: “The best thing would have been for those Elk to turn around and charge at them.”
