I was in LV for CES last week. I used to live there and still have outdoor type friends to hang out with on the weekend. The past three years we have done a "sheep photography" weekend after CES. We managed to find some rams both days, but Saturday we found a group in some picturesque sandstone areas. This was the first time I took a 5DsR into the wild.

#1 I found this ram at our first stop within the first 5 minutes!






#2 When these guys stopped on this sandstone, I might have said, "Perfect"






#3 The background got better here.






#4 The group found this nice sandstone bedding area.






#5 A super crop showing the missing horn and strange growth out of this poor guy's snout.

Looks like a successful outing for sure. I have seen the area on the nose defected in larger Bighorn Sheep Rams also. Looking at this guy I would say he was a warrior for sure. Probably where the rest of his horn went.

Very happy. They are widely dispersed, especially after the record rains earlier in the week. They are certainly fighters.

Thanks. No not Red Rock, though sheep live there. This was north of LV in the mountain range with other well known red rocks. :-)
