Bighorn Sheep
Had to post one more. I think the rut is starting to wind down. Found this one in Dumont. I only managed a couple of shots. Had to had hand-hold and shoot over a barbed-wire fence. He was on private property. Thanks for looking.

Canon 1D Mark2
500mm f/4L

He is one stout s.o.b.! I think his girlfriend in the background likes what she sees. Nice image.

Very nice. Nice of him to turn his head for you.

Yeah, he's a chunky monkey! Great shot, Dan.
