That is pretty exciting! In Jasper they are more common than dear and they are not afraid of humans. I'm glad you had that experience, it's pretty special. How many was in the herd? One trip we had a herd of 30+ heads running along side the truck, they have quite an amazing social structure in large groups. I come across them pretty frequently in our national parks, almost got to pet one once,all I had to do would have been extend my arm, I had to keep backing away because he was trying to check me out(I'm like the wildlife whisperer).
