Big Thompson Bighorn
Took this bighorn's portrait in the Big Thompson Canyon near Highway 34 west of Loveland. A group of them were looking for food in the rocks above the road last September.

Nikon D300
70-300mm f/4-5.6 D lens
1/125s at f/5

The first is very nice, the 2nd is missing its feet.

NIce portrait. The sheep are back in the canyon. I've seen them quite often recently. The rut will start shortly.
