I'm no expert, but a couple of them are shooters...Yes or no?
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

It is awesome to see sheep in the wild, I saw these Rocky Mountains above my house about 40 Miles south of Salt Lake City, they are transplants but are doing well here in Utah.

Trux that far left in your second pic is a dandy. Wild sheep are awesome animals. One day i may even draw a tag for one.

I have 10 points for Desert Sheep here in Utah. I am still another 5 years away from drawing a tag, that works for me because I am a poor college student!

I would say there are a couple of shooters in the group.

Great pics... Did they ever react to you taking the pics?

Once they knew I was there (winded or saw me) they headed off the trail, onto the cliffs and out of sight.
