    I'm always busy wolfing back my Cache Creek DQ on that stretch to look up

    Anyhow I had often seen bighorn sheep in the fields accross from the mushroom plant minutes out of Cache Creek en route to Kamloops..most I have ever seen was perhaps 30 last week..two times 2 days apart.
    Well today was crazy..the sheep were now right beside the highway in the green field..but today there were in excess of 80 sheep !
    The most I had ever seen..ever travelling that stretch of road for over 42 years...and these were very close. .

    How close? Close enough to swear out loud at 4 of the rams..3 of them were obviously to and above the bridge of the nose..however

    One dark chocolat brown tank bodied ram was amazing..certainly 3..4 iinches above the bridge of the nose and lots of mass carried along the entire length of horns..yelled so loud woke my snoozing wife upfrom her sleep.

    In for rescheduled kidneys surgery in the morning..scared shytless" .....hmmmmmmmmmm
    Will be on the lookout for the sheep en route home

    Would be great opportunity for someone with good camera and some skills....
    Cheers
    Lol when they put me to sleep..i will be counting those sheep....
    All my best Steven, waiting to hear good news.
    Too bad you didn't have the chance to take some pics.

    I have hunted the hills around kamloops and cache creek in November and have witnessed these behemoth rams butting heads over and over while we are flushing huge coveys of chukars. It's quite the western experience out there in the sage brush and hoodoos. When they crack skulls it sounds like a gunshot it's crazy

    Hi Steven,
    Thanks for the sheep up-date. That must have been quite a sight. If I didn't live on the island I'd drop everything and get there as fast as I could! Oh well, hopefully someone shows up with a camera. Is that S of Cash cr.?
    I hope you see them again on your way home from surgery. Have a speedy recovery.
    I love it when the seasons change.
