      I think it's just a picture of a mountain range with dust on your lens! :p

      Ha! Had they not spent most of the summer on that ridge (moving back and forth along it), I might agree with you!

      Have you ever thought of making a day trek to see them?

      Honestly no.

      You can often see Dall sheep at closer range on the highway just south of Anchorage (as Pleistohorse well knows).

      @savethelephant: That's a long walk with some serious hill climbing. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit most of my wildlife pics are are taken from the comfort of my driver's seat! And Arizona Docent is 100% correct. Several pull outs on the Seward Highway can get you pretty close to Dall Sheep with very little effort.

      Hence why I said it would take a day:p;)

      But for sure if you're able to see these guys without even leaving your car then that is definitely the smarter option:D
