The bighorn sheep rut (mating season) is nearly here. During the rut, which typically spans from mid-to-late November through January, rams (males) will battle for ewes (females) and, well, ram each other headlong in a display of dominance.

Always remember to observe wildlife from a safe distance to keep yourself and animals safe. |
