Description
While hiking up a mountain to explore a clearing, I stumbled upon two rams locked in a fierce rutting battle. I quietly settled down with my camera, watching as they butted heads in a display of strength and dominance. Then, in a rare and perfect moment, both paused and turned their gaze toward me. With one click, I captured this once-in-a-lifetime encounter—an intimate glimpse into the wild power and presence of these magnificent bighorn rams.
