Are those the coyotes that have been carrying the illegals across the border?

Saw this little fella today by some cottages on the Big Thompson River today between Estes Park and Loveland.

He’s beautiful @Altitude Gator
We went to the RMNP a few years and saw the elk from a distance. Then went to downtown Estes and they were hanging out at the library. Who knew they liked to read?

Some of the elk in the GSMNP like to hang out in Cherokee, NC, too.

In preparation for this weekend's hunt. That's about 3lb before dehydration. Got another 2lb still cooking.

They hang out a lot on the golf course in summer and early fall (just as the rut is starting). That is where my avatar is from - last year I think. Most of the "in town" elk and moose move up into RMNP come rifle season.

We were heading home and bemoaning the fact that the only wildlife we had seen was a few does up Devil's Gulch and then I looked over and say this monster between a couple of those green cottages. We turned around, past him going the other way, then turned around again and pulled into the parking area for the cottages. Those white stakes are the end of the parking area - and we were about 30 feet from them and he was about 30 feet on the other side. Just unconcerned about us entirely.

Very cool. We were thrilled to see the elk in the park and hearing them bugle. Amazing sound. At the library we walked down the sidewalk feet away from them. Stupid yes but they really didn’t care about the people around.
