Out here we get a lot of tourists from all over the world. The local eateries like to put alfalfa bails outside in order to attract the bighorn sheep. The tourists will sit and eat the food that they ordered, while happily watching the sheep outside of the plate glass windows.
One time I was sitting in my Jeep with the window rolled down near one of the eateries, taking pictures with my camera. A little 140 pound Japanese guy thought that it would be a good idea to go up to this big ram, (must have been 275 pounds) and record him eating with his camcorder.
What could possibly go wrong? It all happened so fast! The ram did not like this and charged the tourist and knocked him to the ground and the camcorder went flying in the air, and landed in the grass 6 feet away. Everybody came running out of the restaurant shouting and waving their arms in the air to scare off the ram. The ram took the hint and moved off. They had to help the tourist and had to hold him up as he was limping. The poor little guy had tears in his eyes, I felt sorry for him. Someone picked up what was left of the camcorder.
