This big guy was definitely aware of me and actually seemed very willing to strike a pose. This photo has been sitting in my archives since last September and I finally got around to working on it this morning. It’s always a wonderful experience to see a magnificent creature like this in the wild, photographing it is a nice bonus!

Whoa!!! Amazing that you even saw him. He blends in sooooo well! He is small, is that normal or am I thinking of another type of bighorn?
