Description
New Mexico Bighorn Sheep can easily be found just minutes away from my front door. As often as I can, I head up into the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in search of images. I don't really have a plan, I just go and observe. In 2007 crews with the state Department of Game and Fish, the U.S. Forest Service and Taos Pueblo used drop nets baited with salt blocks to capture 25 sheep in the Pecos Wilderness. The animals were examined, given shots, outfitted with radio collars and trucked to the release site along the Rio Grande Gorge just south of Taos.
