Of course this would only apply to new hunters but it is a start??? Cheers SM

Why reinvent the wheel, the Wild Sheep Society of British Columbia already offers a Horn-Curl Education Program. I'm sure it would be easy to adapt to Alberta. Offering some sheep education in the Hunter Education Course is a fine idea but when you consider that only 2-3% of hunters actually hunt sheep, it might not be that applicable and possibly not the best use of the course's limited time. I like the idea of a voluntary course open to all sheep hunters like they offer in BC.
