Bighorn sheep were re-introduced to this mountain range about 12 years ago. Since then my trail cams have caught them, now and then, on the opposite side of the range they were released into. The video shows a mixed herd of males and females. The photo is an edited screen capture from the video.

On a recent camera check I found that something had dragged a skunk carcass near the camera (not me). The carcass attracted some attention from a coati, turkey vultures, and a mountain lion and her sub-adult offspring:
