Don't mean to stir the pot guys, but why wouldn't we want nature to take it's course on these herds? Seems that surviving animals would be the ones we want breeding later to avoid falling victim to this disease? It doesnt seem like wildlife is addressing Hoof rot or Blue tongue or ? Why this?
Coach, good thing you got your sheep when you did. My 14 points may just turn into imaginary points in the future. I takes a long time to create a large enough herd to support hunting. If they die off, might not see sheep permits here again in my lifetime. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
This indeed really sucks. One option from F & W was to have hunters come in and thin them out as many others on here have suggested. I agree fully and would be the first one to throw my name in the draw. Not to get off track here, but those that were defending the moronic archery guys that shot the elk in Concrete can now kiss this possibility goodbye. Legal is one thing, but ruining future hunts for the rest of us who hunt legally, ethically and morally is another. I cannot imagine F & W would even consider having hunters take care of this problem after the backlash they have received from the elk hunt and the coincidental timing of it all. It would be a PR nightmare!!! My 2 cents
Bone, don't ya get it? This is Obama's Healthcare Plan.
Well said Bearpaw. I agree 100% Funds generated could be set aside for the future rebuilding of the herd
