Rocky mOuntain Bighorn

[Ckzona]

So I was looking at the azgfd weekly fishing report and Dave(I think his name is) informed us that they are reintroducing Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep to the upper parts of Wcc. Anyone else hear this. If you want I can get you a link.

Rocky Mtn Bighorn or desert bighorn?? We have the RM ones here in the White Mtns., along the Black River. Interesting!

let me copy and paste it. This is from the azgfd fishing report. I didnt get a link because you have to scroll down alot to get to the one I am talking about. This is what it said

WEST CLEAR CREEK -- Has been recently stocked, fishing should be good. Game and Fish has also reintroduced Rocky Moutain Bighorn Sheep into this area, so you might just see some up into the rugged canyon area (not an easy hike -- be sure to wear boots).

I never saw that photoset. Thanks Grasshopper! I would have thought that was a little low in elevation but I guess they are there. I will defintely go there sometime soon to see these pretty looking creatures.
