Antelope Capture - WE HAVE ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WE NEED NOW. THANKS!

[Bushcraft]

Folks,

We are getting down to the wire with the upcoming antelope capture and translocation effort happening this coming Monday and we still need a lot more volunteers.

People need to be in Elko, Nevada on Sunday by 6PM for a logistical planning meeting with Nevada’s F&G. Bright and early Monday morning we’ll head out and attempt to capture and process at least 50 speed goats and get them headed to Washington. If we don’t capture enough on Monday, they may decide to try again on Tuesday.

Please forward this request for volunteers out to any and all able bodied people that might be interested in volunteering a couple days of their time to this worthy cause!  Let’s get the carpooling thing worked out ASAP.

Thank you.

Maybe I missed it but was there a "call to arms" earlier? I would have absolutely requested the days off and been there if I could have had a weeks notice

[Woodchuck]

Oh man, I wish I had a little more notice, I would be all over this.

What kind of help do you need?  Just able bodies?  Vehicles? 

[bornhunter]

Where will the antelope be re located to??

[woodswalker]

Well heck...MORE NOTICE would make this workable...and I would LOVE to do that....   

[b0bbyg]

Where will the antelope be re located to??

I have an extra acre for a few, Can I transport in my truck   

Seriously, I am interested in where they are being taken as well.
This sounds like fun, but too short notice for me.

Able bodies. Mugging and carrying antelope, holding them down while bios work them over, record keeping, putting on tracking collars,  ear tagging, putting them in trailers, etc.

What is the lodging situation?

Thanks for your interest.

We put the notice out to SCI Chapters quite a while ago and unfortunately had some volunteers' plans recently change.

It was also mentioned here a couple days ago by someone else (I realize that is still not enough time).  Difficult to get the word out directly when we don't have everyone's e-mail addresses that might be interested.

Maybe a better strategy would be to create a repository of people (that aren't necessarily SCI chapter members) that are interested in volunteering for these types of projects?

What is the lodging situation?

Find a place in Elko for Sunday night. Might want to reserve a room for Monday night too.
