This guy let me get about 5 feet away before he even acknowledged I was there.

careful, he looks kind of horny.

He looks sleepy.
Nice pic...

This guy never did acknowledge my presence. I was just as glad.

Man, you should get that blown up and hang it on the wall. Next pic.

Are they know to be dangerous? or not caring about us at all ?

My first close encounter with one was when I was hiking on a narrow mountain trail while carrying my daughter in a backpack. The sheep started walking toward me and I really wasn't sure what its intentions were. Turned out that it viewed hikers as mobile salt licks and just wanted to get at my knees.

Wow, lucky he didn't charge.........where were you?

So that's what they look like when they aren't being a speck on the other side of a canyon.

Don't know if it is a farm one or wild- but we have plenty of Sheep over here. All farm animals and bred for meat. That looks like some form of rare breed so if it is tame enough- take it home. I can give you a good recipe for B-B-Qed mutton.

And this lettering on the reply section is minute. just glad I have my glasses on. And the site seems slow.

hello

That is wild.

A Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep, a ram.

A big one too.

That sucker was close to 5 feet at the shoulders.

This was just outside a town called Radium Hot Springs, in the Rocky Mountain Trench in southern BC.

The peak behind him is in the Purcell range, if I had turned around 180 degrees the Rockies were right behind me.

My encounter with the salt-deprived one was also in the Canadian Rockies - just outside of Banff.

Well, Banff is about an hour's drive from where I took the picture.

Straight shot east across Vermillion Pass.

Nothing like a big ram to help you remember how big and strong we humans really are.

That snake is in the handicapped space and I can't see anything wrong with it. You should have reported it.

Snake is no dummy. That's the best place to catch slow moving prey.

Somebody has to say it........It's hard to Dodge a Ram.
Refugee, I just checked the B.C. hunting regulations,he isn't legal to hunt. He's only a 3/4 curl and needs to be a full curl.

Hey bada bing!

Yeah, but he wasn't parking, just drivin through.

Nice photo TBM, I was in Kamloops this summer and saw about 75 of them on a golf course and new subdivision. I thought the many forest fires probably moved them off the hills. They semed really indifferent to my walking up and taking pictures as well.

No arms or legs.......quadriplegic.

The best camera is the one you have with you. I use an Olympus 1050 SW. This camera is small waterproof/dust proof/and shock resistant. I have a lanyard attached to the camera which I put around my neck. It fits in a shirt pocket. It also has a big LCD screen.

He was also about 50 feet from the boundary of a National Park.

I suspect he knew that.

Besides, I only had a camera.

I almost always ( walking, driving , riding) have a little Canon ELPH in my pocket.
