Possibly for the guaranteed chance hunt. Most hunts be locked in at current price for next couple years, but wouldn't doubt any new Huns sold be jumping a few k across the board.

wonder why this is in the news now, somebody's axe grind maybe
Sim's paper was done 4? years ago?

Why would anything change ? SCI or B&C are not going to change their records
A white sheep will stil be a Dall


As it would be impossible to draw a line where Stone sheep end and Dall sheep begin, our rule for record-keeping purposes is that a Dall sheep may have no dark hairs whatever, except on the tail. Any sheep that is not pure white (other than the tail) will be treated as a Stone sheep or Fannin Sheep. This follows long-established hunting tradition.

Seems to me yukon has called them fannins for years. Guess thats what they are after all. Believe BandC always said 1 grey hair makes a stone, doubt anything will change.
