Wow an elk? Definitely best of wishes for the rider, hope all is good.
The deer was bad enough. An ELK? Man, screw that.

Maybe it's just due to my personal encounter, but it seems like there's a lot more deer activity and accidents/near-collisions than last year.

It's probably because it's so dry and all of the fires have pushed them out of their usual areas. My aunt/uncle have had a couple of bears in their yard (on the farm) this year. They've never had that before.

In the end, the best advice is that which we’ve heard for years: When in an area known to be frequented by deer, slow down, and be alert. Scan the roadsides carefully, and if possible, avoid riding through such areas and dawn or dusk, when the deer are much more likely to be out grazing. And if you do see a deer, or even just a flicker of movement somewhere in your peripheral vision, flash your lights and honk your horn. Even the people who make and sell the electronic alert systems admit that your vehicle horn is likely to be more effective than their deer alerts. --Fred Rau

120 just tingles for a whileOr an electrical socket...
Lol I've been hit with 120, 240, 10K, 100K. It all tingles for a while as long as you don't get any amperage flowing through you.
