Few of these guys running around town.

Very nice pics. Is this a common in-town sighting during the November rut?

 

[mtmiller]

I don't know much about these sheep, but I think they can be found in this area most of the year.

Wow, nice.

What's this I always hear about needing to be in 'sheep shape' to hunt sheep? I think I could handle that 'sheep terrain.' Cool photos and animals wherever they're at!

I'd like to see one like that if I ever draw a tag!

Looks like the fish hatchery in Rapid City. I don't know anything about them, but they come down to feed on the fresh grass on the lawn like clock work. Good size herd most days too. Really neat!

Definitly the Hatchery in Rapid. The ewe's are there year round, but the rams just show up for some lovin' in late Nov. Head buttin' and the whole works, very impressive site. It is in city limits, so no hunting allowed. jlmatthew, the GFP just decided to whore out our sheep and there will be an auction tag available for 2013, if you are the lucky winner, look me up. I drew a tag in 2008.

Very cool pics!

Better hope they don't get close to some sort of domestic sheep.

Definetly tough going for the SD and Nebraska sheep right now.

“It’s been a tough two years,” Smith said Tuesday. “Out of 53 collared lambs over the first two years of this study, I’ve had one make it alive up until right now.”

These sheep were about 1/2 mile from the hatchery....Catholic church lot. I usually see rams here when I am back for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I can't speak for the rest of the year. I saw some a few days ago across from the hatchery, but pics were pretty poor.

How many tags do they give out on that street LOL

 

[mtmiller]

Few more shots, now that photobucket is working for me.

Ouch.
