Just lucky timing, really. Seeing bighorns around here isn't exactly rare, but seeing any in the particular place they were was extremely unusual. Of the total of 12 shots I managed to get --between constantly needing to look up and down the road to watch for approaching traffic [while I shot from my running vehicle that sat on the typically busy-ish two lane road]--, this was the only shot in which the ram (or either of the two ewes) didn't have his muzzle to the ground feeding, had been facing away and presenting only his sheep-butt, or was facing away from the better light. It was obvious and apparent at the time that of any, the shot I first posted would be the best of the lot.

Below is one of the alternate shots. Apart from minor cropping, it has not been otherwise edited. I think the beer can really makes the shot, don't you?
