Desert Bighorns - pics

Just thought I'd share a couple pics. These were on the way home from work last night, riding with Colotrad. Pics aren't great but only had the cell phone. Two rams in Colorado National Monument, for some reason they seem to like this spot in the winter. Desert Bighorns are probably one of the rarest "huntable" big game species in the states.

I love looking at sheep. Nice pic's. Boy I thought at frist the pic's were of a herd just south of me. They winter in a very similar spot. Maybe some day I could draw one of the few tags!

What a majestic animal to spot...hard to beat the impressiveness (not sure that's a real word??) of those big curls on a nice Ram.
Thanks for sharing...

Mark,
Those animals are nice to see. I envy you for spotting them. Thanks for taking the pictures and letting the rest of us share in the experience. I have personally never seen a desert bighorn in the wild, but I have seen a number of Rocky Mountain bighorns over the years. I'm not sure which I find to be the more impressive. Both are spectacular.

Mark: nice pictures. Are you shooting tomorrow? I'll throw my camera in the jeep in case the sheep are still there. Jim

kadbow - Cool pix, thanx for sharing…. Question – do you know the boundary that separates the CO Desert Bighorns from the Rocky Mountain Bighorns, cause was told those wild sheep not far away in Glenwood Canyon were of the Rocky Mountain subspecies?…Thanx for any info.

The Glenwood Canyon sheep are Rocky Mtn Bighorns. In the winter you can usually see them along I-70 at the No Name Exit.
