This was a bear that ran when it saw my vehicle. It came down from the Book Cliff mountains to find something to eat. A late heavy frost in the mountains froze all the budding berry bushes. So the bears were hungry. This guy got a bee hive near by the day before this. He is the black dot in the middle of the photo running for the corn field.

He was getting ready to come down because he was at the peak of his upward climb.
|  IMG 5451 7D
He is slowly making his way down. There was one way up and one way down for even him. The other side dropped off straight down for a 100 feet or so.

My first ram I'd seen in Colorado National Monument in a while. He is pretty young because the end of his horns are not paint brushed yet. This was October 3rd of 2014

This is him again. There was one in this bunch that had paint brushed horns but I never saw him again after this day. Maybe this young guy ran him off?

So far these are of a Rocky Mountain Big Horn ram and his herd. We were on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park to see the Elk. These guys were just south of Kremmling, Colorado. We saw the elk later that day in the

They all went over that rail and down a long hill to the Colorado River below, he brought up the rear.

This is the biggest bull I've ever seen on the west side of the Park. He had a small herd but all the younger elk that crossed the road seemed to be much younger than this guy. The 5 point bull they had was not a match for this big guy and they were separated by maybe a mile.

This is the small 5 point bull but he would have been no match for that big one. The bull of this size usually do not take part in the rut because they would lose to a bigger bull. Maybe this bunch were not ready for the rut. More like a bunch of teenagers so to speak?
|  IMG 5819 7D
Still there were a few full grown cows in this bunch and they seemed to have calves with them yet. They didn't seem to be interested in the young bull. Maybe the rut was about over for most of the elk already.
