Big Horn Sheep

This type of zoomorph is pretty common among glyphs in southern Arizona. Big Horn Sheep likely were a staple in the diet of the people that populated the area. Maybe the purpose of the glyph is to mark a kill site, or act as an indicater that Big Horn Sheep could be found nearby.
This glyph is unique because it is very large. I didn't think to insert anything into the picture that would give us a scale or perspective. Based on my recollection, I estimate it to be a foot and a half across. Not very scientific, I know. When the weather cools down I'll probably go back out and take the pic again, this time with a ruler in hand!
