Quite safe to say that the GOS has little to no effect on the bighorn population with the majority of ewes being bred. I see lots of lambs in the spring with the ewes but come fall seems most have been taken out by predators. Why not increase the Cougar season from Sept 1st - Nov 30 on top of the winter season. There’s no doubt they are the major contributor to the lambs demise.

Thats interesting. I wonder how they know since there were no counts done this year...I saw probably close to 10 3/4 curl rams this year in the few days I spent in region 3. The GOS doesn't kill a lot of animals bc they broom off before they reach mature or full curl with the exception of a few 6 ear olds with lamb tips that would get broomed the next year. This doesn't sound like fact or science based anything but merely rumour. The LEH would probably allow for more sheep to be harvested bc its going to be 3/4 curl, but would reduce the opportunity for someone to get lucky and find a needle in a hay stack.
There are changes coming for region 4, the WSSBC has issued a statement recently. Lets not start rumours unless you got something to back it up.
