Last year, this guy met me just above treeline on Mt of the Holy Cross and was my guide to the top. I love how he posed for this picture, too.

Yes, they were very loud. I also have a couple of video clips of them butting heads. Maybe I'll post it on YouTube one day.
I often thought the NFL should study the Bighorn sheep/woodpeckers to see if they could copy "Bubble Wrap Effect" for head traumas.
Or teach them how to play football. :lol:
