HornHunter - Yeah, they'll travel, and if far enough capable to interbreed, and that was kinda my reason for bringing up the subject. I Iived in Colorado a couple years (was also inspired by O’Connor as a kid) and spent as much time as I could around the wild sheep while out there (even drew a Rocky ewe tag once), but it wasn't until reading this thread did I realize the desert variety were relocated so close to the Rockys. Although I hadn't really looked up Colorado’s desert subspecies locations because odds of ever drawing a tag are astronomical, I thought they were more isolated to the desert canyons of southern CO, much further from there Rocky cousins, but hmmm, guess not…
Spent some time around the Glenwood, Rifle, Meeker area, and had I known about the Debeque herd would have checked them out. Have never seen a Desert subspecies in the wild…. Again kadbow, thanx for sharing the pix.
