To start this off... I have never been out west and don't know much about it, but I was wondering... While out riding, what kind of animals do you see in the mountains, and how close have you been to them? I don't mean squirrels and stuff like that! Doesn't necessarly have to snowmobiling. When out fourwheeling, dirt biking, hell even out hiking!
The reason I ask is because 2 years ago I was in Christmas MI, and stopped to leak in a little trail that vered off the main trail when I looked to my right and about 70 yards away a wolf come out of the trees and looked right at me. Thought it was pretty cool. That wolf was BIG!!!
Anyone have some stories to share?

We see a lot of everything year-round, but some of the real cool one's that I have seen are, a Black Bear, a one time just out hiking with my brother many years ago, we saw 2 Elk Rutting and fighting... it was really cool and VERY LOUD to sit and watch these two ram antlers together... he might could tell you more about it.. I was pretty young when we saw that, was probably over 20 years ago. I know I was only about 12 or 13 when that happened.
But we see at least once a year, a mountain lion, elk, moose, deer, and in the late spring early summer is when the bear are active.

Hit one in your truck... you hunt just like my buddy does. Unlike most people who see a deer, he will speed up and try to get them. He has suceeded once but failed many.
Good luck. What kind of bird buries itself in snow???
