Once in a lifetime decision
Way more room around the ear on the top right ram as others have stated. Ears are pretty uniform in size from sheep to sheep and a good tool for scale comp. Looks like an epic hunt, have fun and don't sweat it either way. we'd all love an update on how it goes! have fun. -
AK Sheep, Population Observations
Does subsistence sheep harvest get filtered into these data sets at all? I have yet to figure out where that info appears but occasionally I see a horn length that seems wayyyyy to small and as an extreme outlier. That said, I suppose there are some local-residents shooting monsters in NP's as... -
Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?
I think getting a high fence 'nursery' approval would be a bigger achievement than just a transplant in AK. We essentially have nurseries if you consider no hunting zones like sheep mt in Chickaloon, haha. Definitely agree that solid predator mitigation would benefit a seeding population... -
Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?
"Best time to plant a tree (or transplant sheep) was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - George Washington, probably. It's extremely easy to get this view based on Alaska's management history - and it's not incorrect. If ADFG is anything, they're absolutely not proactive. Listen to... -

Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?
Sorry for confusion & I can't PM yet. I believe the disease has been found in Talkeetna's in sheep and Kenai's in goats. It's just a matter of time before it has an 'outbreak'. And with consideration of other new climate factors on some populations too... -
Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?
Haha exactly. Lake Clark isn't far from the Togiak nwr. Or better yet, transplant the stone sheep that step across the border into gmu 1 since we can't hunt that unit anyways - talk about an economic incentive for the state! haha Yes, it seems that statewide we're experiencing a net-negative... -
Alaska Should Transplant Sheep Again?
Long time lurker, and maybe it’s my winter boredom that's initiating this post. I grew up in bighorn sheep country and watched state agencies establish sheep herds in various areas via relocation. Then I moved full time to AK as statewide sheep began to decline. There’s a lot of doom to listen... -
