Somewhat correct.
Only the bison were photgraphed on Antelope Island and to my knowledge there are no sheep on the island. Antelope were reintroduced in 1993. The American Bison, introduced to the island in 1893 number between 500 - 700 ( I believe they cull some and sell some each year).

The sheep were photographed at the mouth of Sheep Creek Canyon, a couple of miles from beautiful downtown Manilla, UT

The elk could have been photographed in a dozen or more places in Utah so this mistake is easily forgiven

. The elk were photographed between McKinnon, WY and Manilla (just across the border into Utah) as were the antelope.

The rabbits photos (and bodies) were taken within a couple of miles of Manilla. There are soooo many rabbits in the Flaming Gorge area that there like vermin

. Getting a daily limit of 10 bunnies never takes more that a couple of hours of fast and furious (and safe) shooting.

Also, as a result there are also lots of coyote, bobcats, and other predators.
