During my recent extended photo shoot I took a break from deer and spent several days photographing mountain goats.  The goats were rutting and in their splendid winter coats.  Isolated this goat far up on the foggy  mountainside

Just a beautiful shot of my favorite mammal...judging by the red on his thighs, it looks like he has been in a tussle with another goat. I have only witnessed a rut fight once, pretty bloody.
