Title: Bighorn sheep
Post by: scotsman on June 10, 2014, 08:52:56 PM

High up a canyon in the eastern Cascades I snuck up on these guys. Very impressive, and maybe my best wildlife pictures ever.

Huh, the photo cropped itself.  The right side of the picture is missing. I'll try another photo....

I was about 100 yards away. The camera is a Canon sx260 with 20X zoom. I'm really impressed with the quality of pictures from a pocket size camera.

Here's another picture...

You should resize your pictures before posting. Maximum size is supposed to be 800x600.

Well, this is a nice break from obsessively checking WDFW for the sheep tag that I am not going to draw... :chuckle:

Great photos.  That's an old warrior there... :tup:

If you guys liked those pictures here are a few more. This one shows why a big ram will "broom" his horns. All the better to see you!
