Montana Motorist Kills 8 Bighorns
January 13, 2010.
A Montana motorist drove his pickup truck through a herd of bighorn sheep near Anaconda, MT, on monday, killing at least eight animals.
Two of the dead animals were trophy rams.
The driver, an unnamed adult male of Anaconda, MT, was cited with failure to obey a traffic signal. Two, large electronic signs on both sides of the highway warn motorists to be aware of bighorn sheep on the road.
Montana wildlife personnel were looking for other sheep Monday afternoon that left the crash scene after being injured. More sheep deaths are expected.
Sheep reportedly gather on that stretch of roadway to lick salt, put there by road crews to melt ice.
The driver's truck incurred light damage.
