I have been attempting to do my homework in regards to Rollie, Tim and Myself all getting leh tags for Dall sheep in the Tatsenshini MU 6-28..
Once involved with my research I have found the total #s of dall sheep pretty much staying at around 500 animals in total..well under 1% of the total # of Dall sheep...one mountain range in Yukon was estimated to have 22,000 dall sheep...:eek:..the harvest of legal ramshas been 14 in 1980 and zero in 2000 with the average being 8 legal Dall rams harvested yearly in all of BC...
That Taigash lake is the demarcation line for B&C FOR dall versus stone sheep..everything west of that lake is classified Dalls..
That MU 6-29 HAS A INVENTORY of approx 375 dall sheep in total..while my MU 6-28 has grand total of 125 TOTAL dall sheep for that entire MU..not a lot...
I have been reading research papers (they dont mind hunters reading about lungworm in Dall sheep )
Has anyone here hunted this area 6-28...any possibility I could have you send me a pm If I could contact you..not even sure these #s represent a huntable poulation :confused:..I know Bennett lake could be landed on...other lakes higher up and deeper in the region??
Thank you in advance..
cheers
