Move Over
Well the hike to Crandell Lake started off with a little bit of excitement you might say. So I’m hiking solo and all of a sudden a family of big horned sheep are approaching, and they don’t seem like they are interested in sharing the trail with me! Luckily there was a large rock nearby which I hopped on, then quickly grabbed my bear spray in preparation to disperse, and suddenly the family decided to veer to their right in order to avoid my bear spray! Lucky them/lucky me lol. I realize they are not exactly the same kind of threat as a bear, but they are known to head butt cars and have tempers. Better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for stopping by.

Are they aggressive? They don't seem dangerous or that like to attack stuff usually
Not usually, but they can be. Wasn't going to take any chances as they were walking along the trail directly toward me.
That’s such a thrilling story! While trekking in Nepal, I also encountered herds of goats carrying loads on narrow mountain paths. We were the ones stepping aside to give them way! Just like your experience, being in nature always requires some quick thinking. Thank you for sharing your story and for the warm welcome!
Sounds like fun trekking in Nepal, will need to head there someday!
Be careful, bro, usually wild sheep are aggressive towards people they have just seen.
Yes, I wasn't going to take any chances.
They don't actually look like sheeps. I thought sheeps would normally have a different head shape and more coat/fur. Wow.
These Big horn sheep are quite prevalent in the Canadian Rockies, and larger than a "farmyard" type sheep.
Holy camel jockys Batman. Too close f c
Conundrum averted bos.
Right on , good work at play
Thanks.
Nice shots you got there, they are beautiful animals! They are just a mite unpredictable so it was wise to move out of the way and keep your distance. The bear spray is never a bad idea either... Most of the time they are just passing through and unless you agitate them they will just ignore you though. Keeping you distance is always the best solution though. Glad they weren't interested in ruining your day!
Yeah me too!
Never know what really to expect with wild animals, caution is always key.
I myself get a lot of joy in the same way when I go to beautiful places and photograph different types of animals there.
Big horns and bear spray, solo hike story.
Yep, it was fun.
