Bear, mama moose and calf, huge bull elk and bobcat all use the same trail

Deep in a gulch, there's a trail used by bears. It has bear marking trees along its sides. But bears are not the only ones who use it. Indeed, after mating season, other species dominate it. This year, a mama moose and her calf used it regularly. A humongous bull elk also frequented it. A light-footed bobcat trotted past it. And you'll see the rest in the video.

  8. A grand collection of animals, those antlers, he wouldn't want to get them tangled in a vine, and the younger moose, will I go this way or that? Loved it all.

  11. What a great video. It's interesting how the moose always seem to be going in the same direction unless you just didn't show their return trips. Are they walking in a big circle?

  12. Do two species try to use it at the same time, and does it cause a tussle when one of them takes too long.
