Horejsi, B. (1976, 10-12 February 1976). Some thoughts and observations on harassment and bighorn sheep. Paper presented at the Proceedings of the Biennial Symposium of the Northern Wild Sheep Council, Jackson, Wyoming.

Abstract

Harassment and its possible effects on bighorn sheep are discussed. Active harassment results in visible responses by sheep, while passive harassment produces no visible response but may have psychological and physiological effects on sheep. Harassment has significant impacts on individuals and populations, leading to a variety of conditions which reduce fitness. Minimizing harassment of sheep should be given top priority among management objectives.
