Great news

Mountain lions have been taking their toll on this nearby herd.

No denying mountain lions kill ungulates, but this is a story about a lion killing a single sheep with a bum leg. Not sure if this incident qualifies as taking a toll on the herd.

There have been several wild sheep vs lion studies done in NMex and Calif. Lions can really dent wild sheep populations.

That's the only link I could find. Plenty more confirmed lion kills by the biologist. Some hound hunters were going to focus on that area this season.

In a monumental effort to support herd health and diversity, NDOW introduced 16 mountain goats to the East Humboldt Range in November 2024. Witness the incredible journey and the teamwork behind this conservation success. (Photo credit: Miranda Crawford)

Maybe I'll be able to draw a goat tag before I die of old age. Sitting on 19 bonus points now.

Watch the video

Noting the contrast in my emotions between watching this release, and wolves in Colorado.
