Sorry just assumed most sheep guys and those involved with relocating of sheep etc knew of him. Yes he is/was an ear tagged ram lived by the hotsprings on the whiteswan road. His buddys have been seen but not him.

Ah, that #68. He was translocated to Fawn Creek (Lussier Hot Springs area) from the Kicking Horse Canyon in 2007. He was recorded a being 4 years old in 2007.

I have a couple shots of him in the corral trap from the 2007 capture, but he was just a little sub-3/4 curl ram at that time and would look nothing similar to how he looks today. He was recorded as being 4 years old in 2007. That makes him only 6 1/2 today yet he was a full curl. Must have those Kicking Horse Canyon genes, hope he spread them around a bit up there in the Lussier/White Swan area before he bit the dust.

I believe this is his daddy. I wonder if he looked anything at all like this?

don't know of any sightings, but talked to a friend who happened to be going by when the sheep was shot, he stopped to watch the show and helped pack it. They put tape to it and it had over 16" bases but tapered down fairly quick.
