I heard there are some sick ones in the herd and I heard they were trying to eliminate them out of the herd. Also those elk were smart who stayed on that side because they fed the sheep and the elk were eating their food. Most orchard farmers are hunters so they are ok with deer in the orchards as the deer are having a tough go. there was 20+ deer I saw on old naches and more that were coming down on clemans.
P.S. has anybady seen the herd in the oak creek area this year? I think they put salt somewhere to stop them from coming down on the highway :dunno:.
Huh? How would salt stop them? Salt does not fill the belly!

The elk are fileing in. One branch antlered bull yesterday to about 15 this morning. They are scattered the whole length of the Valley.

they just start feeding them in the trailer and when they are ready they just shut the door. what ever gets caught goes. i dont think they pick and chooseWhere did you hear that? They actually feed them in the trap and shut the gate on them then black blankets drop around the edges so they dont freak out and try to get through the panels. This causes them to all run to the back and into the alley way then someone runs in and shuts It. There is a guy In a little room when they Chase the sheep Into it he drops down hog ties and blindfolds them then they get pulled out of the side for shots/tagging and selected If they are going to transplant them. When I was there they took ewes and young rams.

I am still not sure why the tribes should get any free sheep. :dunno: As if the 60 tags they got this year wasn't enough. WDFW Sucks.
Do some research. The Colvilles did not get anywhere close to 60 tags. Maybe in the last 30 years they may have got that many tags total. Moving the sheep around to start another herd is a great idea.

"But the next step was an environmental impact statement and that's expensive -- probably $50,000-$100,000 -- and there was no guarantee that we could move forward once it was completed."
beacuse the tribe is an independent nation, and free from all of the regualtion, the SCI was able to move at getting the antelope here.
How this ties in with Colville, Nevada, etc. I don't know at this point. :dunno:

Not sure why tribes would be getting them and F&G not just putting them in a new public ground spot..but there are always lots of politics involved.

http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2012/jan/27/colville-tribes-hope-to-boost-small-bighorn-herd/
"The relocation efforts are intended to boost already established herds, establish new ones and help strengthen smaller herds by increasing genetic diversity. And because the herds are so isolated from each other, disease in one herd may not impact another.
On the Colville Indian Reservation, biologists have relocated 113 bighorn sheep over the last three years to Hell’s Gate game reserve — a 70,000-acre area on the Colville Indian Reservation near Keller that is set aside for big game."

Buglebuster, do you know if they took the ram they collard? I'd be surprised if they took the older ram as I've haven't seen a ram over 4 transplanted before. They might have just needed some gps data on the Clemens sheep.

Very cool pics. Thanks for posting. It was a bummer I couldn't get over for the capture at Clemens as it is a neat experience.No they released him back onto clemans. They tried to not capture any older rams in the trap, but you can't keep them all out so they took some Info, tagged, collared and released.

They only took a couple rams as I recall and they were very young.

Its funny how everyone likes this. They get there money from the gov and then be in kahoots with them because the gov needs enough money for certain THINGS :dunno: and then takes our sheep away that WE non-natives paid for and take them to a place that we are no longer welcome without a pass---WTF!Your exactly right on,but that's politics for you :bash:

They doe this because they get sick when the population gets to high. I know a guy that slaughtered them because they was getting sick. So I see it as a good thing, plus only young sheep was taken.

This is correct! I think its "funny" how you have a problem with doing something that is better for the state, the wild sheep and the tribe. Better for everybody! If the population gets too high the sheep die. Why not move some around to other areas? Sheep were originally on the Colville Reservation so whats wrong with helping the herd there grow back strong. As a member of the Washington Wild Sheep Foundation I approve this and I think this is a great idea!

I'm sure there is a treaty somewhere though that says have to divide the precious resource up...... Then again, I am sure Hairtrigger, since he drew both a goat tag AND a sheep tag this year might have a different opinion to that suggestion. :chuckle:
