"Not sure about the poached rams but there were a couple other rams registered in Medicine Hat by these so called subsistence hunters and that is a fact. Seems a long ways to drive to get some subsistence meat."

There were rams shot by Metis from Medicine Hat in WMU 400. I'm still against this but they were seperate from the poached sheep where just the capes and heads were removed (nothing removed from ewes). Sounded to me like a fair number of sheep perished collectively this year, between metis harvest, subsistance harvest, poaching, and natural mortality.
