The Nevada Department of Wildlife is taking action in the Montana Mountains in Northern Nevada, to try to save healthy bighorn sheep. The decision was made to depopulate a herd of California bighorn sheep , due to an aggressive outbreak of polymicrobial pneumonia that has caused an all age die-off, in a once healthy herd in Humboldt County. Ndow Wildlife Director Tony Wasley says “Quick action now can prevent sick sheep from contacting healthy sheep from the Double “H” Mountains and possibly infecting that herd.”
