WILDLIFE PROJECTS
Big Game Transplants and ReintroductionWith the assistance of NBU, over 60 mountain ranges have received new populations of Desert, Rocky Mountain, or California Bighorns. Over half of the total bighorn sheep tags statewide are due to reintroduced populations. NBU has also been proactive in the reintroduction of antelope throughout northern Nevada as well as elk into select mountain ranges.
