Too many predators in this area to expect herds to do well

Unfortunately, unless I'm mistaken, the Hall Mountain sheep unit is only available through the raffle system instead of special permit system. The other unfortunate thing is that there are several wolves just south of that area in the Harvey Creek drainage. Beautiful country though.

So far, none of the transplants have been killed by predators.
