Interesting, have you talked to any of the biologists in the area? I think a Beth (can't remember her last name) and Jeff Knetteman (sp?) work out of there, don't they?

I think Habitat is a huge issue. I don't think there is much for grass off the mine to hold a decent amount of sheep. Sounds strange but again I could be wrong. Areas I hunt sheep have way more grass than what I was seeing around the mine.

Wow, used to be an issue that there was too much grass on the mine, especially non-indigenous grass. There used to be a concern that all the sheep on the mine was a major reason for the sheep transplants as the concern for brain worm was high.

I imagine all the sheep trapping and sending them away to the USA doesn't help. Bears don't help. It's a complex thing but for sure more than one thing pointing to a decline

Do you know how many sheep have been trapped and shipped? I thought it was mostly ewes, and then only to thin the herd as, like I mentioned above, it was felt too many were there.
Are you aware of any changes?
