To bad there is to so much pressure against making positive changes in the rest of the province. We have to stop being so short sighted. Sheep hunting and the health of the sheep herd in this province is going to continue to decline otherwise IMO.

This not correct, the number of rams is way down and the age hasn’t improved a whole lot and the short rams that are shot are way up as it’s a lot harder to judge a full curl than it is a 4/5 ram. There are rams shot in 400 that are short and passed off as different zone rams when registered. I know of 3 rams that were short and registered as other wmu’s. Arrogance had these hunters caught, and that’s only 3cases how many others are out there that haven’t been caught.
