How do you find them like that? They seem not to have been around all that long. Certainly didn't die of old age (judging by the horns) ....

I think unfortunately the most likely answer is these were poached :( We also found some animal hides stuck in the trees that looked like people had thrown them down into the ravine from above. I don't think a legitimate hunter would discard the skull and horns of a bighorn sheep, the skull with horns is actually valuable not to mention a trophy item
I actually suspected that and started to type it in (certainly not a predator kill). They would not have been trophy in Alberta,Canada where I lived (idk about the US): the curl of the horn has to reach the corner of the eye. http://www.albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/gameregs.html
About the hides you seen (from these regulations): It is unlawful, with the following exceptions, to allow the pelt of any furbearing animal to be wasted. (the exceptions were authorized control of problem wildlife).
