We were fortunate enough to see a few Big Horn Sheep in the mountains this time as well. Would have loved to see some male battles too early for that, maybe if we get out there in the fall.

My kind of photos!

Really sharp, too.

1,3,4 are my favorites, but they are all good.

That is one beautiful animal. Great photography too. I envy you your location Dave. The world is just not fair.

Thanks Susan - there is beauty almost everywhere up here, we pay the price most winters though.

Love the expression on #3. Almost regal

Nice photos and incredibly sharp.
I like the first one the best as it shows more terrain in which the the ram lives.
I think it tells the best story.
