Hey, @dandays.

Very nice.

Is any of that grassland actually pasture? I think they'd put that all to work here. We've definitely have our share of trees, forest service, BLM (the bureau of land management kind), and whatever other federal land agencies might exist.

Had a run in with one of those myself in 2019. It's too bad that pictures don't capture it because, as you say, it's a very odd sight, which makes you uneasy at best. There was only one, though, and it wasn't attacking, so you're experience was much more eventful than mine. :)
