I recently went out in search of bighorn sheep since November through December is the rut for them. Because of the rut, they are usually found in herds with a few males. I was not disappointed on this trip as I found a great herd very close and pretty decent to capture. I had fun watching them graze and enjoy the beautiful day. They unfortunately didn’t do any head butting and fighting, but they were still amazing. Hope you enjoy my many male bighorn sheep photos. 
The males do sniff the air and show their teeth which is pretty funny to capture. I also enjoyed seeing the battle scars on their horns. Maybe you’ll get lucky and see a great herd or even one or two of these beautiful animals. Head up to the mountains this time of year and keep your eyes open for them.
