| IMG_6132.jpg | Wolf WatcherThis large dall ram watches a wolf crossing the river bottom over a mile away. Dall sheep are creatures of the moment. They will lose interest in a wolf as soon as it is out of sight. |

| IMG_6145.jpg | A WolfThis large dall ram focuses on a wolf in the distance. Dall sheep stay within 400 yards or so of rocky escape cliffs where wolves can't go. They seem very confident in their ability to out run wolves for this distance. |

| IMG_6174.jpg | Wolf WatchersThese dall rams are intrigued with a single wolf in the distance. I watched a pack of six wolve walk through this are a few days later and the sheep just moved to safe steep areas to watch the pack move through. I am sure that wolves catch sheep now and then, but it is not a daily occurance. The sheep are just too vigilant and they can out run a wolf for a short distance to some rocks and escape. |

| IMG_6189.jpg | Boys Wil Be BoysDall sheep remind me of junior high school boys with their constant pushing and kicking each other. I am sure they already know who is the stongest, but they can't resist a shoving match. |
