You comment reminds me of a couple of movies that I share in my history class about mountain men - the worst thing they could hear in the dark was the click of a sidehammer or flinter- it was amazing how quickly a "click" could cause them to scatter - I really think they taught elk the same trick. This really seems odd to me as I have shot elk and the rest of the elk in the group stand around looking for where the sound came from - but a simple "
click!" and they are in scatter mode.
Here is one that didn't here the click... Ignore the pink hat I lost a bet...
