" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Can't wait to see them take off.
Now use some of that money to go kill some cats and wolves near the relocation site!

The wild sheep foundation is a great group, that money truly goes to the animals, became a life member a couple years ago and don't regret it a bit.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Hopefully they keep predators in check around where they released them. I remember one transplant job done in the Minam in Oregon where cats got 5 out of about a dozen in about two weeks time. I've seen the donor heard in Oregon that they got these from, I'm surprised they needed helicopters to capture them.

 That would be counter productive to the $150k just given at the sheep auction, that will be going to protect those cats, wolves and help fund the fisher reintroduction. :twocents:
