Might as well be peta. The gentic harm gang has more in common with peta, than hunters or Albertans. This is nothing more than a plyte to save their jobs, defeat hunting and send Jorgensen off to retirement, knowing his life long dream has taken shape, thanx to his work.
Nobody wants to not see sheep off the mountain, nor does anyone want to hunt sheep if its not sustainable. But how they undermined the Alberta hunter on the grizzly hunt, people want facts and proof. Then we want access to their research, only then i believe most hunters would be willing to work with esrd.
Ironically, all their facts and eveidence has a embargo on the inforamtion until this August 2015. Thats when we have a chance to see it. But the Decision will be made long before August. If your theory is sound, give us and the organizations time to read, disiphere and understand it. Which they could have done years ago, and today we all would be sitting around the table collectively.
But instead they push agendas behind close doors... that alone makes feel that its an agenda issue, with a paper trail that swiss cheese would laugh at.
I've never seen in court a decision be made with only one side being heard, and no evidence..... maybe a lawsuit is what they need...

[ B]The full curl rule makes about as much sense as having a member of PETA be the biologist on hunting related issue. [/B]
There were a lot of older rams this year that were nowhere near full curl. Not sure what problem they are trying to solve but if they are concerned about age thy just need to implement government harvest fees on rams under 8 years old and have a 1/2 curl restriction. every year the ram is closer to 5 the harvest fee goes up exponentially. Age by rings and if there is a dispute pull a tooth and have it aged. That would deter people from shooting a 5 year old full curl with lamb tips but would allow a 10+ year old ram to be harvested that is heavily broomed. If the government Is really concerned with growing big horns on sheep all they need to do is look at Cadomine or the Missouri breaks, great feed = great horns. Imagine the rams they would have if they did some burns in K Country!
