For all your careful reading you miss a lot, or are just biased. You think modeling a program after the BC one is brilliant? No it would be stupid.
The course which started as way to enlighten hunters to kill only older rams has now morphed into length judging and conservation. In my day I've seen enough politicians run programs with hidden agendas to see this one coming for a mile.
bambi I've said continually and this the part you like to skip, show me a problem and I'll give you an opinion.
That aside I know and this has been proven everywhere that predator and habitat management would very successfully improve the sheep herd, whether it needs it or not. No dangerous and expensive experiments, no hidden agendas just straight forward proven common sense. Are you against predator and habitat management?
Now bambi any part of that you don't understand? Would you like me to repeat any of it? I've been saying predator and habitat management for a long time, it is only the flaky ideas put forward that manage hunters and further restrict our freedoms that I'm against.
Capish?
