Post by: HillHound on July 18, 2022, 07:36:50 PM: Probably. That would explain the no calves. Well wolves, bears, cougars would probably be a better explanation

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.

Colockum?

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.
