It would seem that those opposed to any change are those who think only of them selves and have no regard for the future of sheep and sheep hunting.
This all started when AWS wondered why we weren't growing as great of trophy potential as Montana. First the habitat, predator and climate differences make the answer obvious to me. Secondly it wasn't that there was a problem just that they wanted bigger rams. I'm not really sure that I'm comfortable with managing game for increased trophy potential. I like the thought that we manage the game for the health and well being of the whole herd and not just a select portion of it to please elite trophy hunters. If our herds support 4/5 curl ram hunt then I'm OK with that.
