New Neighbors

Senator Margaret Dayton, co-chair of the newly-formed, bi-partisan Utah Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, helped release 18 Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep into the foothills of Utah County.

Three new herds have been started in the Provo area in the last five years, and a total of 28 new herds over the last 15 years in Utah.




She E-mailed us:
It was fun to be involved in the release of the big horn sheep - but I was a little nervous about opening the gate when the biologist said to me, "Don't worry if they bang against you and knock you down - it makes for good footage!!"

So that explains it. There I was two springs ago running along the trail north of Rock Canyon when I spied a bighorn sheep about 20 feet above me on the hill. I had wondered how it got there.
