Big Horn Sheep
Violet and I were riding Storm Mountain last night about 5:00. We came over a ridge and ran almost smack into a Big Horn sheep. There were 11 of them and they ran across a little valley and then just stopped and stared at us. They all had the massive curved horns, quite impressive. They are as tall as a mule deer and much thicker. Violet didn't even chase them, I was proud of her. Of course she'd already gone 13 miles so she was pretty tired. I got a pic on the phone but it is poor quality. I don't get too excited about wildlife usually, but this was kind of neat.
