Bighorn Sheep were once so prolific in the greater Yellowstone, that in 1836, trapper Osborne Russell wrote that they encountered “thousands of mountain sheep.. all very fat so that this could be called no other than high living..”
Been reading about the Mountain Shoshone, Tukudika, or Sheep Eaters; those native to the mountains of the greater Yellowstone. Fascinating folks. Currently delving into their hunting strategy. Specifically the way they utilized their dogs- hunting as a pack; and their use of blinds, and ‘catch pens’. Also find it incredibly cool that would make hunting bows from bighorn curls (they’d soften them by soaking them in geyers ;)
Wow, that's pretty interesting that they would soften the curls like that. I'm sure they used the geysers to manipulate other materials also. It must have been such a valuable resource for them to utilize the incredible heat. Also, what luxury it must have been to them to enjoy a soak in the hot spot of the river in the middle of winter.
