Beautiful captures! Looks like it was very cooperative, and posed for you! No wonder they wanted to use it for their publication.

I was searching inside Canyonsland N.P. when I spotted this creature. I took some shots as I was under the assumption they are plenty full. In the evening on the way out I was going the Park Ranger going to show my new just came out Nikon 2DX. The Ranger was more amazed at the Big Horn Sheep. I had no idea they were so hard to find. The last image was used by the Parks Department in the yearly publication.
Excellent shots of Bighorn!!!

You caught some incredible shots, maybe in a lifetime. Opportunities like this do not come around very often.

Isn’t Canyonlands in Utah?
There are several subspecies of Bighorn: Rocky Mountain and Desert being two. I don’t know all the differences but believe Rocky Mountain is larger.

Here’s a Desert one I shot in Death Valley in December.
PS: your images are awesome!
