Bighorn Sheep in the Snow

A bighorn sheep ram pauses from eating during a snow storm in the National Elk Refuge near Jackson, Wyoming.

Another bighorn sheep from the other day when I headed into the National Elk Refuge on my lunch break. They made it pretty easy on me that day. They were literally just in the middle of the road and right off the side of it. I made it hard on myself though by getting my 2wd Cherokee stuck in the snow. Luckily a government vehicle saw me slip in and was able to pull me out.
