On April 30, Nevada Bighorns Unlimited (NBU) and the Nevada Department of Wildlife released five adult Desert Bighorn Rams into their native habitat of Clark Mountain.
In a statement, NBU president Steve Field said, “This re-introduction of Desert Bighorn Sheep is the continuation of our efforts we began last October to establish a healthy population of Desert Bighorn Sheep in the Virginia Range.”
Desert, Rocky Mountain and California Bighorns have been released into more than 60 mountain ranges in Nevada. NBU is also working on reintroducing antelope and elk throughout Nevada.
