I'd be all over that. But most would sooner freebee them all the way to non hunting status and defend that position to their buddy on their 4g IPhone while sitting in their $45000 trucks sipping a $4 latte between talking about the latest episode of Whack em and Stack em that's included with their $150 a month subscription on Bell Express Vu.

Talk about entitlement.

Hey Chuck.. Not everybody falls in to this catagory.... Paying $600 for a tag takes alot of people rite out of being able to go up the mountain.... I am not for this as hunting is turning in to a rich mans sport which is BS....

IMO the government needs to get the cattle out of the forestry, have a cull on wolves, coyotes and open cougar up in the mountains, burn a bunch of bush to improve and expand winter range, limit some access especially easy access on to winter range, limit ATV access in many places, horse access as well in others, gradually phase in full curl with no draw, perhaps put 4/5 curl on draw for a few years until it is full curl throughout the province. I am sure I'll get an earfull from some but just my opinion.

I have seen studies where domestic sheep have impacted wild sheep but nothing about cattle. The cows I thought were being used to keep the brush and foliage under control.

It is funny you say that as once I had to take bottles back to buy a tag as payday was not till the fallowing Friday. Thank god for cheap gas and a 4 banger car I had a full tank in. Also $50 is more than enough as it just goes in to a general revenue account. If it went to help sheep yes I agree but 600 get real.

Well here we go with "only the elite should be able to attitude".....jack the prices up so only the wealthy and "Elite" can hunt sheep, give your head a shake.

Properly manage the resource and the non-resident tags......thats a good place to start in all this.

Wow, hard to believe the high tag cost idea was considered! I did a 10 day sheep hunt up north this year, food, gas, and one night in hotel due to injury first trip out, still under $700. That's including gear wear too. Keep it in reach for the average guy...

LOL, you are the one who supported higher tag costs.....what was your reason for supporting that? was it to eliminate some of the competition or was it with hopes the extra money raised goes back into the resource?

I am willing to bet alot of people would not buy a sheep tag if it cost $600.....and that was your point...right? to weed out the people who either can afford, aren't willing to pay, or aren't "serious" enough to go after sheep?

Curious as to you comment about $50 bucks being a joke what is that in reference to?

Cattle can limit forage for sheep on critical winter habitat, cause avoidance of habitat especially during lambing and shortly after lambing, screw up mineral licks or cause less use of them by sheep. As for keeping bush under control they would be far better off doing more prescribed burns and stop putting out naturally caused fires. The only way to improve or increase sheep habitat is to burn the bush. With better habitat you get better sheep quality and sheep better able to resist lungworm and pnemonia during high stress conditions.

I'm not sure I'd make that blanket statement about guys with rams and guys without rams. Several guys I know have not killed a ram but hunted for 5-10+ years for one, understand sheep and have a true passion for sheep hunting. Others have shot one in a year or two. Does killing truly mean that a person understands or have a fully different opion on the matter? I highly doubt it from what I've seen....and earning one comes in a whole lot of different experiences and cant really be measured against another persons view of 'earning' IMO....

I'm going to go with no Rams for gopher as he is avoiding the question, and I would say it takes the average sheep hunter about 10yrs. to get a sheep and sure the odd nube gets one the first year.
