They are SO cool! 45 years up here and I've almost seen a half dozen or so by the tracks. I have seen just one - at about 15 yards thru 9x binocs. It was a big one , looking back at me from his hind legs. A friend nailed its expression perfectly when he described it as "deciding whether, not if, it wanted to take me".


The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
