That's a great shot. I've never seen a big horn at Shelf.

Some day when you have extra time (and before snow falls) drive the "back way", up North along Shelf Road to Cripple Creek. That's our standard route and we see big horns about 25% of the time. This guy was about 5 minutes north of the Great Black North, right on the road.

He's probably related to this guy...also at Shelf.
