Dall Sheep
Hiking up to the cliffs in Denali National Park to photograph this dall sheep and one beautiful full curl ram. Upon my arrival to the upper plateau, exhausted due to the thin air, I encounter one sow grizzly bear and two cubs. In Denali, you have to stay 300 yards away from all bears and wolves. When your looking for a bear, you can't find them, they show up at the most unopportunistic times. Needless to say I had to retreat before I could get the ram I was attempting to put in a favorable composition for a picture. Bummer, had to leave and retreat to the car, thinking when will I ever have an opportunity for a full curl dall sheep? One day maybe, can't get them all my father once said.
