Running from?  Wolves?

Probably. That would explain the no calves. Well wolves, bears, cougars would probably be a better explanation

They were not running from wolves, most likely my SxS noise. Came around a corner smack into the whole herd of them. They did seem a bit confused as they ran left, then right, then back left again and then stopped. Created quite the dust storm. They have been slow to get to the summer range this year due to late snow melt, guessing the nursery groups were nearby.

My guess is wolves, see them run in different directions with multiple Wolves.

Colockum?

Jeesh. what is it with you folks and wolves? I don't like them any more than the rest of you, but wolves are not to blame for EVERYTHING.

When I came around the corner they were all standing still........feeding.

Enjoy the video, no need to conspiracy theory.

Im going to go hide my porage now.
