Last year, this guy met me just above treeline on Mt of the Holy Cross and was my guide to the top. I love how he posed for this picture, too.

Re: Wildlife
Yes, they were very loud. I also have a couple of video clips of them butting heads. Maybe I'll post it on YouTube one day.nyker wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 4:28 pmThat is pretty cool - were these crashes loud?WolverPete wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 6:52 am A few weeks back at Garden of the Gods.

I often thought the NFL should study the Bighorn sheep/woodpeckers to see if they could copy "Bubble Wrap Effect" for head traumas.
Or teach them how to play football.
