Those animals might be on the trails alot more than we realize ... We were sitting pretty high in the mountains in GPNF once and another group of riders came along. We headed out the same way the 2nd group of riders just came from after maybe 30 minutes ... Just right up the trail from where we were sitting, there was already animal tracks over the bike tracks ... -- I'm always leary of water crossing here and losing the ability to back-track on a trail ...
No sightings. There were signs and they have been seen though the park attendant said to make some noise, hoot and holler. So had a whistle on my pack and used it and clapped, made noise... At least the final leg down into the woods. Enough people on the trail that lessened my concern though.
So if you ride the TE down the trail revving the engine and hitting the horn, one could present the argument that you're providing a public service.

Rode about 55 miles at China Hat today. Like last year, was 40 degrees and raining...Perfect Did the white loop. Russ showed me this route last year and places I was not real confident in I cleaned just fine this year. Didn't go up to the tower, but took some trails I think we returned on at last years fall gathering. View: https://youtu.be/zhQ6FDODbng
So you tried to squeeze through a 60 incher in a 50 inch opening.Up and over he went. A sprayer rig heading up to spray around the water tank, in Coeur D'Alene, expecting the gate to be open. Rode up on the cement barrier and flipped.
