Title: Bighorn Sheep Crop Damage Legislation
Post by: bigtex on February 21, 2013, 11:09:50 PM

Senate Bill 5760 was introduced on 2/13, had a hearing on 2/19, and was voted in the committee on 2/21. The bill would provide compensation for commercial crop damage caused by bighorn sheep, similar to the program WDFW administers for deer and elk.

WDFW and the state cattleman’s association are in favor.

they need to add wolves to this list, as it also involves damage to stock.
