Nope oregon is run by liberals that want unlimited predators on the landscape and no hunting at all.

Oregon sucks, no one apply.

Lol, Alaska sucks, the guides over pressure everything and the winter kill has been horrible. Please buy your expensive sheep trophy's from Canada! Only partly kidding

A useless tidbit, but I just spoke to a guide that was one of a few guides on a governors tag a few years ago with ol Jimmy and he didn't have many (ie zero) nice things to say about him.

I stand corrected then on the earlier post where I said I was under the impression he was cool and sharing accolades with everyone.

No I think you were right. If anybody wants to hear it from JJ himself, go to 26:17 of this video:

Sometimes I think that about the only time what one says on video is 100% truthful is when they don't actually know they are on video.

Either way he admitted on camera he knows he is not a good hunter and that’s why he hires good hunters. I respect that.

False! RMBS, for example of just one, does a ton of work to suport and protect sheep herds in Colo.
They do auction the LONE auction ram tag and raffle to LONE raffle shep tag for the state. That is hardly being ‘morphed into procurators….’ to benefit a select subset on individuals.

I havent followed this thread super close but everytime things like this get brought up people always say that these orgs do work to support xyz but has it ever been substantiated that its actually doing any good? Like I said, I havent followed it super close but has anyone been able to post anything that shows its working?

@CorbLand check page 14 and post #278 for some proof of these dollars benefiting the average hunters.

Doesn’t matter what he says on the video I know for a fact he is not a good person.

Do you happen to know how much funding RMBS provided for this effort?

Don't hold me to this it was 20 years ago - but I think the RMBS donated $20,000 or $25,000? plus some matching funds from the sheep specific Auction and Raffle fund where all the money is held. Here's a snapshot of the 2007 total sheep fund and expenses this was the oldest electronic file I could find on this PC. They moved a total of 58 sheep there to S73 in 2005. Sandbrew

No worries. Was just curious if someone had ever posted anything and could substantiate it. I remember seeing one post where someone showed that even with more and more funding coming from auction tags, opportunity has been decreasing since.

It’s been a while but I use to be on the board of the Rocky Mtn Bighorn Society in Colorado . I remember a water guzzler project I volunteered on with about 15 others that was funded by a Colorado Bighorn suction tag . The money was given to the DOW to build water guzzlers for areas that water sources had become depleted or encroached upon by civilization in previous native bighorn habitats . Also in areas where water sources were easy for Mtn lions to ambush sheep. We hiked up to the designated areas that were determined the best spots for the water guzzlers and the DOW used helicopters to fly in the materials in which we constructed the water guzzlers . The chopper time was very expensive. This is one of the examples where the auction tags helped fund putting more sheep on the Mtn.

All the doubting Thomas questions would be unnecessary if any of the questioners were doing anything to support the sheep. Every single conservation organization dedicated to bettering the wild sheep gives you a newsletter or magazine with your minimal support of an annual membership and every issue highlights the good things they are doing with the money donated…every single one.

What sense is it to “prove” all the things like relocation, test and remove, water guzzlers, domestic sheep buyouts, range improvements of every kind imaginable, select burns, on and on, help the sheep more than doing nothing?

Makes about as much sense as defunding the police or having a completely open border.

The bigger question. is the sliver of supposed good theses tags provide worth it sheep numbers are down in a majority of areas a few increase but not anything substantial the one example in colorado they transplanted 58 sheep 20 years ago and it's just barely at 150 sheep and colorado statewide sheep population has not increased at all
