    I drove by 3 Big Horn Sheep today. I mean like right by them.

    One was a ram with a full rack.

    They're pretty big. Bigger than a deer.

    Are Big Horn Sheep supposed to graze next to the roadway?

    I thought hunters were supposed to have to scale vast mountain ranges to get a shot at one of those from 1/2 mile away?

    They've learned the people trying to kill them are in the mountains, so they now avoid the mountains.

    Everything, man or beast, is looking for ways to make life easier as we evolve through the centuries. We're all becoming quite spoiled and look for the easiest way possible to survive.

    Predation drove the bighorn into the steep terrain where they adapted well, prior to that the bighorn sheep were a plains dweller.
