Wyoming Bighorn sheep

Possible HiMtnHntr, did they take any lung or tonsil samples. We're instructed to bring out intact lungs and heart of we find any fresh dead sheep.

When the new bio came out she wasn't able to find a fresh enough sample. The situation for antelope here isn't looking great.

No dead sheep found this past weekend and the lab says perhaps some found were infected about 2 months ago and some more recently.
It is a hemolytic bacteria, spelling ?

Very nice! Congrats!

Haven"t received any bad news so hoping the sheep die off has eased.

Glad to see no more were found.

Thought I would show a side by side of my ram skull and the one we found dead.
Here is the ram just a week or so before he was hit crossing the highway.
My ram skull is the one on the right.

Thats pretty cool. Both great rams. Bummer the one got hit by a vehicle, but cool that you were able to keep it.

Landowners were up for mule deer hunting and they found this ram dead in a back pasture. Look sot be maybe 10 years old. Taking him to get plugged on Monday then we'll tape it out. He was a warrior judging by the chunks out of his horns.

Wow. 3 amazing rams in one year!

We did not find this one and he will stay on the ranch.

Cool Ram, Warrior, indeed.
10 years isn't bad.

OT- Has the WG&F found any more sheep from the die-off?

Not that we know of. Seemed to be pretty isolated.
Rams will start tp be very visible soon in Sybille Canyon if anyone has interest in looking at them. The newly burned areas have proven to be popular with several bands of sheep.

Beautiful Ram!
