| In October of 1968, the Department of Fish and Game undertook to determine the status of bighorn sheep in California. The present estimate is approximately 3,500 bighorn. Sheep have declined in number in many areas during the past quarter century; however, there are thrifty herds remaining in some areas. Water shortage, competition with burro, and man usurping bighorn habitat are serious problems facing the species today. |
