GOS Sheep season GOING TO LEH

[rageous]

Part of region 3 GOS season for sheep going to LEH next year because the biologist think there are not enough mature rams.

These rumours don't help. Support the claim? What area?

if true, sounds like a science based approach rather than feelings-based...

What science are you alluding to?

Will going to LEH reduce habitat loss, or predation loss or disease loss?

Once again, the only science based approach being followed for sheep management is to further reduce hunting....

Does GOS reduce habitat loss or disease loss.
Cant speak about region 3 but there is talk of LEH for bighorns in region 4 which think would be a good thing if
and could give more a chance at taking a sheep if it is set up right.

GOS gives greater stewardship rewards than LEH, so yes, GOS has a greater chance to increase lobbying and funding efforts to reduce habitat, predation and disease loss than LEH.

Eliminating GOS and replacing it with LEH by design reduces opportunity to have a chance to take a sheep.


Of course nothing you said in any way answers the questions I asked.... just deflection, cause that is all you got in this discussion.

If the horn curl reg is generous, it may actually improve the chances of a legal ram for those that get the permit
So hinges on the number of permits of course.

Well considering probable most of the states sheep are on some type of draw(LEH) and much of there other wildlife as well I would disagree with you.
And also maybe looking at the number of LEH applicants for sheep here in B.C vs number of sheep tags sold.
