Harassing wildlife doesn’t just ruin a peaceful outdoor experience; it can cause stress for the animals and even lead to dangerous situations for both parties. Whether it’s chasing animals, getting too close for that perfect photo or feeding animals from your hand, sometimes people forget that wild creatures need space, even when they are the ones encroaching.

Here’s a video of some people hitting golf balls on the range where elk are hanging out.  This video has become quite controversial, as many believe they were intentionally trying to hit the animals, while others believe they were trying not to hit them by hitting balls above them, as they could have hit them if they wanted to.

What are your thoughts on this?
