Let's do some facts here! :happy107: Colorado named the Big Horn Sheep it's state animal in 1961. Nevada didn't name its state animal until 1973. Nevada's big horn Sheep population is less than 2000 and Colorado's is about 7000. So those Nevada Big Horn Sheep most likely wondered off from Colorado's herds. So, who is stealing from who? ;) Edited to correct my state error but in my defense, John is everywhere around the western four corners!

Let's do some facts here! :happy107: Colorado named the Big Horn Sheep it's state animal in 1961. Utah didn't name its state animal until 1971, which is the Rocky Mountain Elk. Utah's elk population is about 80,000 and Colorado's is about 250,000. So those Utah elk most likely wondered into Utah from Colorado's herds. So, who is stealing from who? ;)
Ummmm, I’m in NV ….lol
