Mountain lions have been taking their toll on this nearby herd.

No denying mountain lions kill ungulates, but this is a story about a lion killing a single sheep with a bum leg. Not sure if this incident qualifies as taking a toll on the herd.
 
There have been several wild sheep vs lion studies done in NMex and Calif. Lions can really dent wild sheep populations.

That's the only link I could find. Plenty more confirmed lion kills by the biologist. Some hound hunters were going to focus on that area this season.

Edit to add letter.

In a monumental effort to support herd health and diversity, NDOW introduced 16 mountain goats to the East Humboldt Range in November 2024. Witness the incredible journey and the teamwork behind this conservation success. (Photo credit: Miranda Crawford)

Maybe I'll be able to draw a goat tag before I die of old age. 👴 Sitting on 19 bonus points now.

Noting the contrast in my emotions between watching this release, and wolves in Colorado.

Want to start a new sheep unit where there are known sheep herds?
Get ready for surveys, collar studies, feet dragging, apprehension etc

add sitting on hands until a die off
occurs and the population is no longer huntable.

went up to that area yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised if I saw over 60 all way on top of the mountain. Looks like it worked this time.

Counted a group with 21 and then I could simultaneously see a group farther off that looked at least double that. I wanted to hike a little closer to count the big group but they had mostly moved on by the time I got closer.

I haven’t been able to find any survey info on this population. But the reintroduction worked.

Saw tons n tons of kids and yearlings

Thats the information for all herds this spring. I think thats the draft. Looks like an error on the year on the cover.

Looks like some went into 102 to the south. But there was no population estimate because of the transplant. Not sure if you've seen this before.

we're talking about different areas. I responded to @BigHornRam who posted this article https://missoulian.com/lifestyles/r...cle_dc2506aa-5688-5a2d-9d09-73459c4291d9.html

He thought the reintroduction failed. I would say it looks like a success.
