Lytton - Lillooet Bighorns

[BimmerBob]

In my drives between Lillooet and Lytton I am seeing more and more Bighorns on the roadway, usually within about 10 km of the Big Slide on the Lytton side. Nothing that could be considered a shooter but the herds seem to be growing. On my way to Lillooet last week I saw 3 groups of them with a total of more than 35 sheep. Here are a couple of pics I was able to snap for your viewing pleasure...

yeah I have been seeing them as well but the rams must be in their bachelor groups. But you really see the big groups on the diamond S ranch hayfields near pavillion. There were some nice rams last year but none that were leagal. However there was one nice big legal one last year just around lytton on the botanie road. Wish I had the camera at that time.

Wild Sheep Society annual Spences sheep count has taken in that area in years past, when there are enough spotters to help out.
There is a large area that we would like to have looked at each year
