Ewes and lambs in people's yards. A couple hundred yards down the road there was a black bear right on the side of the raod. Didn't see a moose though.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on May 26, 2010, 02:37:09 PM: I've seen Blues sheep with collars too. The herd was almost extinct a few years ago, they were trying to find out what was happening to them.

Post by: BLUEBULLS on May 27, 2010, 06:24:09 AM: the top picture is the on the Grande Ronde, the bottom is tucannon.

most of the Tucannon sheep (of the 12 or so left) have collars. Hopefully they can come back, there used to be some great rams.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on May 27, 2010, 06:50:49 AM: I have never seen a ram in the Tucannon. Lots of ewes and a couple of kids, but never a ram. The ewe to kid ratio is ridiculously low, like 10:1.
