If you are an outfitter ,you lose the next available permit for 1 year. Currently bringing in a short sheep you take a ticket but can hunt next year.
3 One sheep every 5 yrs
4 Sheep WMU `s have open cougar quota`s
5 Sheep WMU have additional hunting opportunity for cougars similar to the rest of the province ( you gotta wonder why these Zone`s that were excluded in the first place)
6 Where it can be proven that there is a sheep herd dynamics issue then additonal measures be taken to control predators until the pop. recovers.
7 Get some real training for sheep ageing. They very seldom get it right and are almost always underageing the rams from what I hear
Just some brainstorming

There is no excuse to shoot a short sheep! No way you should keep it! Take away your sheep hunting for a long time ,might help! The rest of your ideas maybe hold some weight.
