“BRO IS ONE HEADBUTT AWAY FROM MEETING HIS ANCESTORS,” wrote Charan Cherzy in a video showing a bull elk walking up to a fisherman who has his line cast in the river. The man doesn’t budge, just glances at the elk as it walks up to him and bugles, then walks away. Cherzy called it an “insane moment” to witness.

“This bull elk casually walked up right next to this guy like, ‘so . . . what’d you catch?'” Cherzy wrote in his Instagram post sharing the footage. “But please, for the love of everything, DO NOT try to recreate this.”
