Default Sheep count

The flight was a little rough at first as the wind was blowing pretty good out of the west. Which means on the up wind side of a mountain the air is being forced up and so is the chopper. On the down wind side the air is forced down and so is the chopper. Fortunatly nobody got to see their breakfast.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp We saw a lone lamb backed into the base of a spruce on the cliff side of the Ram river canyon and about 80 yds. away a big lone black wolf was trotting along the top of the bank. We took some "shots" of the wolf with 35 mm film as we did not have an Rem 870 loaded with ASA buckshot handy.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp I don't know what the actual numbers were as I was not recording but was counting sheep and counting the lambs in the ewe groups. We did see some big rams but we were not too far from the park boundery and a lot of big rams spend the summer in the park and come out on the Alberta side for the winter.
