Bull Elk Sounds: Bugles, Barks, Grunts and More

Bull Elk produce a variety of vocalizations, especially during the mating season.

[@summerniteskye]

they're so majestic, and then just.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK

[@istinkofpoobut5602]

Summernyx that's the majestic part

[@TheMissing8]

One of the coolest noises on this planet.

[@tomsvideos4244]

TheMissing8 IF you know what it is. Not so cool when your settling in for camp after a long day and have never heard one before!

[@biddyboo8]

Completely agree. Elk bugles are my favorite animal call.

[@TheMissing8]

Tom's Videos Haha, I could see that being a little disconcerting.

[@Jan007golden]

+TheMissing8 When my Sis & I were litle, my folks would take us to The Rocky Mt. Nat. Park" about this time of year, & Daddie would say, "We're in the MOUNTAINS kids!" and we'd go to Horseshoe Park to listen to them bugle! .... Happiest days of m life!!

[@TheMissing8]

Janice Kucera I'm jealous of you guys that grew up in the western country side. I grew up in New Jersey about 25 miles outside of NYC and, although, I had great times in upstate New York, I have always wanted to travel to Alaska, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, among others.

[@HeyIamHunter]

The elk lifted his antlers and let out a rebel cry: "HmeEeEeEeEEEEr!!!"

[@antioch3784]

1:56 slurp slurp slurp

[@ss-iw8or]

I love the one where the bull is battling a bush It's so adorable!!

[@Morna777]

I think he's rubbing his antlers on it, they do that to get off the velvet before rutting season, I'd assume some keep doing it just out of habit or because it feels good.

[@marieelisa1]

I absolutely LOVE their calls. And prefer them alive. Beautiful creatures.

[@taylors8093]

Do you understand how much hunters contribute in this county towards the conservation and preservation of our flora and fauna? More than all other types of conservation combined. I love to see, listen, watch, photograph, hunt, and eat elk. And yes they are beautiful creatures.

[@paulcarriebillingsly8752]

Yes beautiful creatures.. one of the best, and the taste great... prefer mine steak

[@puppymonkeybaby5299]

Yes they are delicious

[@mageofdoomsie1598]

I prefer them medium Don’t hurt me I love elk alive too

[@forsaaken420]

They’re also beautiful on a fork too

[@davidjohnson4171]

Elk noises should seriously be used in monster and horror movies. They've seriously got the third most intimidating screeches I've ever heard.

[@cats2927]

Do you copy?

[@kralbertson]

These kinds of sounds are what keep me up at night... Effing elk. They live in my backyard, and yeah, after a few weeks of sleepless nights, fall starts to seem like the worst season...

[@MissKittieMo]

It's the funniest noise to come out of something so big 😂 Omg why 1:56 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@jtrose6995]

Agree....seems like it would be lower pitch right??

[@jessewru6425]

Why did I read that JUST in time

[@naiustheyetti]

imagine shuffling your deck just to hear this in the distance.

[@kristinamarchant]

Just moved from the city and heard it last night walking the dog at 2am. Holy crap.

[@whatevs18]

Elk bugles... One of my favorite sounds in the world. Such majestic creatures!! 💜

[@dinoreaper5854]

5:37 oops... XD Elk are such beautiful and amazing creatures! I love the sounds they make!

[@Charley_Goji]

I don't know what it is, but their is something that I love about elks that make them so amazing. They are gorgeous giants of North America's wilderness and I love it.

[@rmef]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@nibletchan]

1:57 "get away from my butt!"

[@irishjoe2941]

Lol

[@TChops-hi7hr]

So I just found out from a NatGeo video about a few minutes ago that the elk are actually producing two sounds: there's the high pitched whistle and there's also the VERY low grunt. You can actually hear the latter much closer to the end of their call. Took me a few tries but it actually sounds really cool!

[@LukaTisus]

The whistle being produced by specialized molars in the back of their mouths we like to call 'ivories'.

[@Darkskinnative]

The most beautiful SOUND EVER

[@baystergaming]

Who ever came from jack I just wanna say when I heard that scream I thought it was the "teenagers" being killed... Totally did not think I'd be an elk

[@chriscampbell2679]

That is the most gorgeous sound ever.

[@Dogolover982]

1:57, his tongue looked so funny until you realized what he was doing😂

[@BigBrothersEnd]

1:57 Me when I buy ice cream for the first time after a long winter

[@superindian09]

who wouldn't want to wake up to elk screaming there lungs out in the A.M.

[@mancooutwest44]

Probably the best moments in a hunters life is when they succeed in calling in a bull or cow using elk calls. I know the times I have are the best hunting memories.

[@christyknight2468]

Pure adrenaline and excitement!

[@oceanmartin670]

Great vid! Best multiple sounds I've found on youtube this season. Thanks. 🤗

[@rmef]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@bvrnttoast4392]

2:28 when that one man laughs to hard

[@reenyx15]

1:58 made me laugh so loud I almost got in trouble.

[@msinfinity17]

9 years later, its still funny 🤣

[@xcharliedntsurf6887]

A S S L I C K

[@TERRYBOOKER]

Beautiful!!

[@SkaterChick1972]

They're so beautiful and cute and majestic😭😭😭💖💖💖

[@rebekahljones]

I love this sound. This time of year I sleep with the windows open. I can hear them calling and the sounds of their antlers when they fight.

[@rmef]

You live in a great place...

[@rebekahljones]

@@rmef I am very blessed to live where I do.

[@jessehutchings]

I find elk to be totally beautiful and fascinating

[@solanaceae2069]

Outstanding!

[@ShadowChanceSassy]

That's the noise Chance heard on Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Shadow thought it was a moose, but it was actually an elk that Shadow, Chance, and Sassy heard out in the distance from where they were sleeping at night in the forest.

[@sillyvalliexo]

Elk are so majestic

[@freakishlyfeline]

Beautiful creatures

[@elkhuntersniper]

3:55 those elk are absolutely a mess

[@MrKott2667]

This is the best sound in nature, only if i could have another on my wall great video.

[@ParkerAlton]

10/10 would watch again

[@BrandonCase]

7:14 -- Ahggg that spike is so close to his eye

[@jas.satellite]

Thanks jack !

[@IdahoTylers]

i love how the elk are so huge

[@nmelkhunter1]

That bull is checking to see if that cow is ready....If you get my meaning of ready!

[@smac919]

And the award for most mismatched animal noises goes to...

[@suprmvrlrd]

Imma ignore that I have like the entire world of elks in my front yard. Letting them annoy my neighbors. Peaceful life huh.

[@elkhuntersniper]

those elk are beasts

[@debbiepowell7741]

Cute elks

[@eiguoc]

Very awesome to hear. I neevr knew they had that many sounds. The only ones I've been lucky to see, not counting Zoos 10 years ago, stopped going there, was at an Elk farm. They were tagged so I assume they were breeding them for reintroduction into the norther parts of Ontario

[@Chispacat2]

I ran across a herd of 24 elk in Jarbidge Wilderness (NV), and was amazed at how "undignified" the alpha bull's pig squeals were. Also, he issued a challenge bark to me.

[@rhiannon-bv9rk]

The lion's roar tops the Elk bugle

[@termaskeye2024]

This is cool

[@imreallybadatnamingthings]

I can tell this is where Cenozoic Survival got their elk sounds!

[@jayencrypted6607]

1:57 licky licky

[@danielvazquez5624]

i like this a lot soothing energizing

[@minnievibes973]

Thanks a lot Jack!! 0_0

[@nmelkhunter1]

Elk do live in North American, namely the US and Canada. The Shawnee called them Wapiti, which means "white deer", or as some people claim, "white butt".

[@dzelila.c]

Cow elk: HEH HEH Bull elk: EEEEE O REEE REEEE REEEEEEEEEE REE REEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@DevinValles22]

Fascinating animals can’t wait to go on my first hunt. Just recently purchased the whapiti whacker elk caller

[@bluelfsuma]

I heard these last night. Thought it was big birds flying overhead.

[@marianomurillo599]

bluELFsuma where?

[@bluelfsuma]

Idaho.

[@youngbentley]

Best animal sound

[@schackg.lystrup2100]

Thanks Jack

[@sleepingstarsXI]

man some squeals sound terrifying

[@JoseDiaz-qi3rh]

These are the noises I wanna make when I die, purely majestic lol

[@Seerokool]

one of the defining moments of my life was last winter when i saw two of these majestic creatures tromping through the woods, when i first heard them, my first thought was WTF!? is someone driving their car around out here? Unfortunately i could not get close enough to get off a shot with my bow, as they were peeking at me through the trees, but still an unforgettable experience

[@elkhuntersniper]

theres nothing like an elk bugle to get you going

[@tomnelson3393]

True Rock mountain music this just says it all

[@JCalhoun2000]

I like listening to these things lol

[@suprmvrlrd]

But I actually do have a elk fawn. I found her when she was injured so now I have a elk. That's ganna grow into Godzilla size.

[@porterroze2937]

[@shimonofbirdsandsupermariofan]

Elrey the elk and Montana the elk make that sound

[@s3dchr]

You can see the vapor puff coming out at the end of a yell... Which means they're actually making those sounds inhaling?? Or maybe the yell itself is just too fast of an exhale for vapor to form..

[@Schmoomunitions]

@BrownDog12311 That's the last of their winter fur that hasn't fallen off yet.

[@imjustvibing2018]

I can actually scream like an elk

[@110491Banter]

Terrifying noise! sounds like a Nazgul

[@ArelnaPhoenix89]

what the noise they make sometimes before the bugle?

[@bertyamaoka9584]

it's called a lip bawl

[@greyblob1101]

0:48 we get it you vape!

[@akumayoxiruma]

Si ostium aeruginosum lente aperis:

[@BrownDog12311]

oh ok thanks. for a second i thought it was ticks

[@gayhomelesswithpinknails4424]

5:17 c#7

[@urmorph]

Interesting that the puff of condensation comes at the end of the call. Anyone know why?

[@tomflynn2912]

Because it's cold out? Same thing would happen to you if you were there vocalizing

[@urmorph]

@@tomflynn2912 It's not the what, it's the when. It seems like the air comes out when the sound stops, as if he bugles on the intake. The quivering of his throat and jowls is interesting, too.

[@ColtonCarter]
