Nobody yet mentioned cougars!! And one couple mentioned taking turns while the other walked close (to a herd of elk) -- Dumb, dumb idea!!
We were not close to the herd of elk. The elk were on an island in the river. Others were right on the bank opposite, whereas we were viewing with our binoculars from the road, but we had to park way back due to the traffic congestion created by everyone stopping. We are very careful in viewing wildlife. We are not those tourists that get up close. We either view from our vehicle or from a safe distance. That's ok, I'm sure you misunderstood my explanation.
