Many of them probably more so than any Bio that is working these sheep studies. I know many old timers that have watched sheep herds since the 60's in many different zones not just sheep river and ram mountain they are the ones that have seen the rise and fall of the predator poulations and how weather has effected the animals . These observations are prudent to discussions like this and in the deciding of how things have changed. To say that this experience isnt relative is total the wrong way of thinking. These are the thoughts and observations they we need. Thats all the Bios are doing is documenting observations!
He can ignore me but what I stated are the facts that many on here feel and he cant ignore that.

I couldn't agree more SG.....but some people speak
from experience and some people speak
about experience. I give the ones that talk
from experience a lot of credence. The ones that speak
about not so much. Most old timers that speak
from experience don't worry about telling you that they've hunted every inch of the province or what holes they've packed out of or what drainages they've hunted. They just figure that people know they are talking
from experience. I find most people do.
