Great shots of some incredible rams, Dana! Love the snowy background. Makes me want to get back there with my camera. How far from the draw area are these pics taken?

These are still a ways from the draw area. Not too far for them to travel though. Typically they come down almost to town in the winter and then move back up the lake in the summer.

Actually none of these guys head back to the lake or draw area. These head straight up the hill or some head up Tranquille Creek. The last couple of years I have seen them almost all year in the same area. During august and September most disappear but I figure the heat drives them up the mountain.
Drive down ORD road and you can see lots across from the Trailer courts right beside the road they are tame like domestic sheep. Not wild at all, like real wild sheep. They were transplanted and are not native to this spot even tho lots pretend there wild, they aren't, you can get so close you could touch them.
Also in the fields of the Federal farm by the Kamloops airport you can see dozens a few feet away.
Not native at all even tho some try to make you believe this lol
.. still nice to see but i think the mule deer are still angry lol that they were brought here lol.
They breed like mink and are everywhere even up Batchelor on the lac du bois road now where the deer winter, at 4k an old road goes up left to Mara mtn, it is closed to vehicles now, but if you walk up there you'll see more sheep than deer now.
Bah bah bah ha bah, lol. Sheep dung and tracks every where you walk they pull the grass right out from the roots not like deer which nip it off.

That is interesting. I always assumed they moved up the lake. I've never really looked for them much in the heat of the summer. I'm still waiting for the 'What If' ram to show up this winter. Last year he was broomed heavy on one side and super long on the other. I'm wondering if he will finally broom the long side.
