Two of the dead animals were trophy rams.
A Montana motorist drove his pickup truck through a herd of bighorn sheep near Anaconda, MT, on Monday, killing at least eight animals. A tragedy to say the least.
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. The sheep were on the road because they gather there to lick salt, put there by road crews to melt ice.

I am totally outraged & disgusted at such a slaughter by what was probably a drunken idiot & to think he only got fined with a ‘failure to obey a traffic signal’! Add to that he’s a local of the area. Shame, shame on him, he should get a far bigger penalty.
We live in the Rockies in Alberta & have Big Horn Sheep just 8 minutes away. They go on the Hwy to lick the salt & we know that in one certain area, they will probably be there, we SLOW DOWN! Common sense. As a result, we’ve had many great photo opportunities, some of which are posted on our website Blog as well as Twitter. http://www.mckenzietrailswest.com
