Just as we turned a corner while skiing on the Blacktail plateau we came across this guy having breakfast. We watched him for a minute but when he stomped his front hoof and gave us a grunt knew it was time for Quick U turn. We did not get to ski to our planned destination but it was a good day nonetheless.
Beautiful brute.
Hi was a big guy. Hope your week is going great.
I would turn around, too.
Great minds think alike.
He’s wonderful! Big and scary in that moment I imagine, but wonderful!
Hi Ellie, he was big yet not scary. We just let be and gave him room. It’s his territory.
Fantastic that you were able to squeeze off this photo, Mike. whew! That’s a frightening sight…your U-turn was wise. This is what is so fun about being in nature, the unpredictability of the wildlife.
Hi Jet, yes nature is good at delivering unpredictability and a suppose does make the moment memorable. Hop your having a great week.
Good one – and respectful.
These guys deserve respect.
No sharing the route with that tough guy! 😉
Most of the time we could go around but we were in a fairly narrow area so u-turn it was.
Whoa!
He aid that to us we we to him.
He is beautiful and no, don’t stand in the way, if he wish to use it. They are so huge in size.
He was indeed a big guy.
