They probably recognized that I am a sheep herder at home so they must have been comfortable. Yeah, that's it.

Actually I was pretty surprised too that they walked right by me without even a second notice. Here's an Elk, I have a pic of a brown bear (I'm not that close to!) and a bald eagle snatching a fish out of a lake somewhere if I can find em.
For reference the big horn and elk pics were taken on the Rocky Mountain 1200km.
