Salt River Canyon Bighorns

Hey y'all
The better half and I went on a "cruise" of sorts at Canyon Lake here in AZ with the AZGFD and the ADBSS to spot sheep in the canyon. They're a species I had yet to see here and it was pretty cool getting to see them and talk sheep with other patrons, some of whom had drawn tags and others were strictly wildlife spotters, not hunters. Saw 32 sheep in total I think, as well as a handful of Coues from the boat. The Gf is already talking about wanting to go again next year

Canyon Lake is an amazing location for a boat ride. I did it a few years ago and got some nice bighorn shots.
