Bighorn Sheep

Bighorn Sheep are large, wild sheep, which can be hunted. Be aware that shooting an animal near the Bighorns will cause them to become spooked. They can be found in the southern area of Tall Trees, also north of Pleasance House; an icon for them is on the map and somewhat obscured by the "r" and "k" in Rathskeller Fork. These animals are preyed on mainly by bears and cougars and on rare occasions they may come across wolves. When the player sees the corpse of these animals, note that the predator is probably still close to it's victim.

When killing an animal, it usually attracts a predator. For example, killing a bighorn in Tall Trees will quite likely attract a group of bears.

Location
Bighorn Sheep can be found in West Elizabeth, in the Tall Trees area around Tanner's Reach, up to the Aurora Basin in the mornings and south-east of Nekoti Rock in the early afternoon. They are also very commonly found north west of Hamlin's Passing on top of large boulders and rocky outcroppings, on the plains between Manzanita Post and the Pacific Union RR Camp, and on very rare occasions near Rathskeller Fork. They are also often found in the north hillside regions of New Austin, north-west of Twin Rocks. Be careful when hunting them here as cougars spawn as well. Listen for sheep sounds to locate them.


 * Bighorn Sheep are found in parts of Nuevo Paraiso, as well as in and around Tall Trees, and between Twin Rocks and Rattlesnake Hollow along the northern foothills.
 * They have also been found in large numbers west of Bearclaw Camp and north of Tanner's Span.
 * There is a bighorn spawn point just a little south of Tanner's Reach.

Trivia

 * They are most spotted in the middle of the day, and roam in groups of 2 to 6.
 * Look for a group of animals that have white fur and 2 curved horns on their head. From a distance they may resemble buck.
 * They are fairly small. Many players look for large animals, resulting in them giving up their search.
 * You can lasso them and drag them around with very little resistance, similarly how you'd lasso a tamed horse and drag it around.
 * Two dead bighorns can be found on the mountain in 'At Home with Dutch', the first killed by a bear and the second by a cougar.
