This is AWESOME! #10033257Sherry Karr Adkins March 11, 2012
Thank you Jane, Michele, Pat and Graham, Amanda, Kay, Terry, Joy, Nikki and Carol for such nice comments. Amanda, you are close, these are Aoudad aka Barbary Sheep that were introduced into Palo Duro Canyon back in the 60's for hunting purposes. They took to the environment and ecosystem so well that they have multiplied by the thousands. BTW, I was hanging precariously on the cliff opposite him! #10033709Neal D. Hatcher March 12, 2012
