Mess with the sheep, you get the big horns.

Mess with the sheep, you get the big horns.

When I first moved to Colorado I did a solo ascent of Mt Evans in springtime (winter conditions). It was ice axe and crampons ice climbing. A steep ascent, but I did come down the normal hiking route. When I got back to my car, as I took off my backpack and other gear I spotted a group of juvenile bighorn sheep. I got my camera out of my backpack and rolled down my window. I waited really still as they got closer and closer. And one of them stuck his head in through my open window and was sniffing and looking around, I guess to see if I had something to feed him. I am guessing tourists feed them. All I was thinking is that if he catches his horns inside my car and panics....how would I explain it to my insurance company. I snapped this picture as he seemed disappointed that I did not have food for him.
