kidso Report post Posted February 11, 2014 I have tried to steer clear of this debacle. However, the rapid loss of one-third of the transplant population must surely be larger than what the G&F anticipated and more than i can idly sit by and keep my tongue restrained. I enjoyed seeing sheep in the area when i attended college at the U of A and hoped to see them again, but not at this cost of sheep mortality. I hope the same mistake is not made twice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowhuntinmaniac Report post Posted February 11, 2014 Why cant G&F be proactive and take out the lions BEFORE the sheep are transplanted. Thousands of $ are spent on these projects and everybody feels like they accomplished something. Why did the sheep disappear from the Catalinas in the 90s? Maybe that should have told them something. A few years ago, G&F did an antelope transplant from 19A to the strip and one buck was, if I remember right, over 88". Instead of closing this unit for a year and letting the buck get established and go through one rut, the buck was killed by a hunter about 3 months after he was transplanted. Makes no sense....
