Haha! I love sheeps.
They are my favorite bit of mountain wildlife. I certainly hope to run into a Sierra herd someday. I'm glad for the efforts to repopulate the area.
I've had a number of great run-ins with the San Gabriel herds (on one instance spotting 16 ewes and lambs in a herd roving over Harwood's S. face).
I also spied my first bighorn as I came up the S. ridge of Iron Mountain (formerly called Sheep Mountain) in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness, it was a solitary ram perched on a low crag in the morning light. He was looking west over the steep upper ramparts of Allison Gulch, and he turned to look at me. I looked at him. He licked his lips and cut off east. I licked mine and kept heading up.
