Staff from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks and partnering organizations recently released 26 bighorn sheep into the Tendoy Mountains as part of a new effort to re-establish a wild sheep herd there.

Each of the sheep had healthy body conditions when they were successfully released on Feb. 19. (Montana FWP Photo)
