Some good reading. I like the one read from Ovis40. The second sentence pretty much sums it up why there is a decline with letting domestic animals into sheep ranges, but yet they do nothing about it. And the part where subsistence hunting is unmeasured and NOT important, so they made all these changes over the years to try and help the decline but they left out a couple of important factors by not controlling the native hunting pressure or the control of domestic animals. I think we are a little off the 7% success rate from 1989 to today. Does anybody know how many rams have been taken in the last couple of years as I'm sure it's not anywhere near the 289 it has been when this study took place.
