Dall Sheep Rut

[@CyWebbII]

It’s crazy how amazing this is to enjoy outside of Town. Crazy how I lived in this state since the mid 80’s and never had the idea to do this. Thank you
I know the area just never knew these were around

[@RaisedinAlaska]

We are very fortunate.😁

[@MooseManNaturePhotos]

amazing animals, and while watching found myself missing AK. Thumbs up

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thank you, Alaska misses you two as well.

[@cnlights2]

Doesn't look too bad. Wind sounds rough.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

It was pretty windy and the animals were is an accessible area.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@cnlights2 Thank you.

[@patriciawilson6373]

Awesome video. Are these guys aggressive?❤

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@patriciawilson6373 In my experience, they are very docile tears human beings. In fact, they try to avoid us as much as possible.

[@markrumfola9833]

Try to not miss you Sir.

[@cnlights2]

Have you shot one before or just with a camera?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I have never hunted sheep. During the rut the big rams come down out of the high country to court the ewes so they become more accessible.

[@cnlights2]

@RaisedinAlaska can you shoot either sex or is it ppl prefer a rack?(😉)

[@MyAlaska12]

very cool

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thank you Bill, it was a fun outing.

[@readytogo6569]

Rut in the middle of winter?!? Never would have guessed. Must be about a 4 month gestation, then?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

@@readytogo6569 This was filmed in November. I just had so many other things going on I was slow getting it

[@readytogo6569]

@ Got it. Thanks for letting me know❣️

[@markrumfola9833]

How far away are you Sir ?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

The first ram, I was probably only 30 or 40 yards from, after that most of the sheep were 100 to 200 yards away.

[@bigfatno]

Excellent footage!

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thank you, it was a fabulous day to be outside.
