So, I have to say this was one of the coolest encounters that I have ever had! I have been seeing these sheep but always way too far away for me to get a real shot of... all I have is 200mm on the long side. but yesterday... I ran into these guys! it was awesome... they would stare at me for a minute as I was taking shots, then they would look away... so I would sneak 5 feet closer, then they would look back at me, so I would stop and shoot... they would look away so I would advance till they looked back etc. this went on for an about 30 min before the big ram moved his harem up the hill and out of my site... was really awesome!
