Wouldn't it be dangerous to view them in seasons where they are hormonal?

    Only if you get close enough that one can charge you. Otherwise it's a good time to see them all put in the open and mashing antlers.

    Yeah they've kinda learned that they are safe in Rocky Mountain National Park and in Estes so they're chill. Still wild animals though and I wouldn't really wanna be that close to one like in the picture.
