The game trail has been getting a lot of traffic recently. Here's a couple of clips.
#1, a very cautious cow elk. She stood there at the fence for nearly two minutes before deciding to cross over.

[cool] We've been encountering a lot of elk down here in the valley that we normally don't see due to the dry year and (probably) fires.
