Description We caught up with some Big Horn Sheep along the Alaska Highway. Just on the side of the road helping themselves to whatever they could find to eat. This guy was pretty close to the side of the road and didn't seem too worried when we stopped the car and I leaned out the window.

Presto, Big Horn Sheep picture

Thank you. It's one of my favorite rules

I only got a couple seconds. My buddy slowed the car down to a crawl but we didn't really have time or room to stop.

Lucky, there was no one on the road behind us or we would have been in trouble!

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm alive. It's been a little rough in my life lately so I haven't made any time to get out and photograph

But, things just cleaned up this weekend. Now I need to get out with the camera.

Hmmm. I'll have to set some time aside to think about it. A visit to Yellowstone does sound like fun
