I work in a gas and oil field in Wyoming.
This herd has been hanging around the same area for years.
Sure beats looking at the four walls of a cubicle.

I counted 67 in one herd, and 49 in another today.
There is at least 2 other herds that i know of.
There was a herd of 11 big bulls i saw last week, of course, no camera.

Amazing. So close.
 
Cool pictures we where on a snowmobiling trip at Towgotee Pass and went into some of the lower areas with a guide ans saw a hard bigger than anything he had ever seen cutting through the snow on an open area. Must have been at least 500 head. It was just a jaw dropping sight. Guide had lived there his whole life and never seen anything like it. This was 10 years ago.
 
Yeah, the big herds are really cool to watch.
I've seen a few herds with 300-400 head.
Amazing!
 
Thanks North.
I was driving to check a well today and topped a hill, there were 14 nice bulls just off the road.
I was running late this morning so no camera.
