As we flip the calendar to September, my mind starts thinking of all the fun, fall action to come.

Ungulates like elk, moose, deer and bighorn sheep will each be starting their rut and mating season will be in full swing. The testosterone of the boys will be raging and fights will be brewing. It truly is one of the most fun times to photograph wildlife in Colorado.

This image harkens back to November 1 of last year when the bighorn were taking their turn at wooing the ladies. Unfortunately on this day they weren’t much into head-butting but this handsome fellow was definitely “feeling the vibe” and rushing to catch up to the nearby ewes.
