Albertson’s Once -in-a-Lifetime Hunt(s) By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner What was once thought of as a far-reaching dream is coming to reality for young Lakeview hunter Taylor Albertson. Last May, Albertson, 26, received a late night phone call from someone who claimed to be from the Oregon Access and Habitat department. It took a couple of double-takes to come to the realization that the call was not a prank but one that truthfully told him that he was the winning draw during the Oregon Hunter Association banquet for a once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip (Governor’s Tag for Oregon). Thanks to his mother Toni, who bought him 15 tickets, one of which was pulled from more than 7,400, he acquired four tags for the extensive and adventurous hunt for elk and deer. Since the news, Albertson has been avidly preparing for the trips that will take him to Wenaha, Walla Walla and Mount Emily hunting units in September for his elk hunt. To scout for the trip, he set up a few cameras
that will help him fully utilize his time while out in the field. These cameras, donated by Stealth Cam, will give much insight into the habits of the native species for when and where they frequent the area being examined. For the deer hunts, he is choosing to stay more local in the desert region and is a bit more tight-lipped as to which areas he will stake out in November when the rut, or mating season, is occurring. “In my experience, the big, nasty animals are in the big, nasty places,” he said with a smile, adding that half the battle is becoming familiar with these areas. During these hunts, Albertson is not restricted in any way, so he can use a rifle or bow at his discretion. In fact, he had a surprising donation of a firearm that came his way when word spread of the trip. Christensen Arms contacted Albertson to give him a Classic Carbon .300 Win Mag that is built specifically to his specifications. Of course, Albertson happily and thankfully accepted the gift. Lowa Shoes
even provided a pair of Hunter Series boots for the series of trips. To share in the excitement of the adventure, Albertson set up a Facebook page so that those who are interested can follow along with his preparations and when he finally takes action. The page created is titled “Taylor’s Oregon Statewide Combo Dream Tag,” and can be found at h t t p s : / / w w w. fa c e b o o k . com/governorstag?fref=ts. To cap off the hunt and commemorate the experience, Albertson is looking to taxidermy the kills along with taking many pictures, chronicling the experience coveted by many western hunters. He will carry on encapsulating the trip by enjoying the fruits of his labors in grinding out hamburger, cutting out steaks and roasts from the many deer and elk, providing food for a year or more. “In my opinion, there’s nothing better than wild JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner game meat,” he said. Even though news of With a donated Classic Carbon .300 in tow, Albertson prepares for a coveted and eccentric hunting the hunt is months past, Alexcursion that most hunters clamor for their entire bertson still is taken aback by the prospect of the oncelives. in-a-lifetime hunt.

Fishing restrictions have been established statewide between the hours of 2 p.m. and one hour before sunrise to help reduce stress VU ÄZO WVW\SH[PVUZ -VY [OL LHYS` TVYUPUN ÄZOLYTHU OV^L]LY WSLU[` VM VWWVY[\UP[PLZ HYL Z[PSS H]HPSHISL [V OVVR H IPN VUL
Restrictions statewide still leaves fishing opportunities available )` 2\Y[ 3PLK[RL Lake County Examiner Extended drought conditions across the west have had an adverse affect on water levels in rivers and reservoirs, resulting in some fish die-offs, forcing certain fishing restrictions. Yet despite concerns, an abundance of fish and fishing opportunities still exist across Lake County for the avid angler and the new novice alike. In light of the drought causing an increased stress on fish populations, Oregon implemented a statewide restriction on fishing hours, preventing anyone from fishing between 2 p.m. and one hour before sunrise. Despite this, according to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Assistant District Fish Biologist Trevor Watson, fishing remains plentiful across Lake County in the many reservoirs and streams available for both stocked and native species. “What we’re trying to do with these fishing reductions is not allow fishing during the most heat of the day to minimize further stressing the fish, which could kill them,” said Watson. “By resuming again in the morning when there
are cooler temperatures it not only makes for better fishing but reduces stress on the fish.” Watson explained that warm water species such as large mouth bass, croppie, perch and bullhead are not as heavily impacted, because they don’t require cold water, so the harassment of a catch-and-release isn’t as stressful because they are not also harassed by the temperatures. However for colder water species such as redband trout and rainbow trout, finding deeper, cooler water is essential for survival. Comparative to the rest of the state that has seen fish die-offs and very low water levels, Watson reported that Lake County’s summer has been mild by comparison, resulting in great fishing opportunities. With fish stocking from hatcheries almost completely done for 2015, populations remain plentiful. “The call I get most often is if we have water, then they ask about their special fishing hole,” said Watson. “We have many reservoirs that are full resulting in good fishing, even though some places there are low water levels. I haven’t heard that people can’t fish or won’t fish, it’s just a matter of whether or not they’ll come here to do so.”
The amount of stocking done is variant on the estimated amount of fishing conducted at each location as well as the lake’s capacity to sustain a population. Places that are more heavily fished such as Cottonwood, Holbrook and Ana Reservoir stocking includes not only fingerlings but legal sized fish and large “trophy” fish to supplement the demand and take the stress off of the younger fish coming up. For smaller reservoirs only fingerlings are added. Watson stressed that for catch and release fishing it is very important to properly handle fish, returning them to the water as efficiently and quickly as possible to reduce stress. He stated that a regulation modification will take place in 2016, loosening rules statewide, opening up some fisheries year round that currently may only be seasonal. The primary seasonal fishing location in Lake County is Goose Lake and its tributaries due to redband spawning, with the current season open May 23 to Oct. 31. For more information on fishing restrictions, regulations and current population sample information contact Trevor Watson at ODFW at 541-947-2950.

Fly-fishing over catching By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner In the midst of rich ventures that Lake County affords for the average and advanced outdoorsman, the lure of fly-fishing attracts those who hanker for a more relaxing outdoor experience. Paisley’s Larry Duckworth, a seasoned veteran of the specific brand of fishing, weighs in on the shape of the county’s prospects of zen-like activity. To Duckworth, the sport isn’t designed to collect trophies and fame but is much more about the process. He estimates that he releases as many as 90 percent of his catches, explaining that since humans have evolved past the hunting and gathering stage, eating what he catches is a low priority. The real thrill is going after the native fish instead, which is generally trout rather than steelhead or salmon. What makes fly-fishing much more attractive to Duckworth and the general fishing populace of other like-minded fishermen is the seclusion that it offers. Scores of fishermen look
for the solitude, picking the right kind of stream that is off the beaten path with little or no number of tagalongs. Duckworth reminisces about the olden days when it was mandatory to come up with something to do alone, oftentimes going fishing as a kid with nothing but a willow stick and a line. “We didn’t have video games,” Duckworth laughed. Areas all around the county afford a great number of prospects for fly-fishing opportunities… that is when the precipitation cooperates. This season especially was trying on fishermen, as the streams were too low and too warm to attract the coveted fish. In healthier years, early spring in May and early June are ideal for getting out to the stream for yearly casts. Duckworth prefers conducting fishing along Paisley’s Chewaucan River, but Campbell and Deadhorsel lakes are also stocked with trout on an annual basis. Tying flies around the year gives sportsmen a hobby even when fishing is off-season, though Duckworth doesn’t find himself as into the activity as others. He said that the purpose
of creating and maintaining a variety of flies has to do with being adaptable to the different conditions. These flies, whether they are wet, dry or other types, lure the fish as they look to be different species of insects. “Fly tying has an appeal to a lot of people,” said Duckworth, “it takes a lot of effort.” Along with a good supply of flies, critical gear in the way of rod and line are important for those who take on the relaxing sport. Duckworth emphasizes that a rod that has a good feel for the fish requires it to be more bendable. As far as the reel itself, he said that going expensive isn’t necessary, just as long as a good trusty line is in the arsenal. Further advice Duckworth gives to the novice is to not be shy about returning to the same stomping grounds to gain more understanding about the habits of the fish in the area. In the fly-fishing sport, Duckworth explains that it is more of a busy endeavor than other kind of fishing since he is always changing flies and understanding where the fish are laying. “You stay busier and you end up catching more fish in a season than in any other way,” he said.

RMEF does much to support wildlife By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Though the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) is a nationwide conservation organization, the ties to Lake County are wide and impactful in providing hunters with lands that make a sustainable ecosystem for game. Loads of locals contribute to these efforts on a yearly basis by way of Lakeview’s RMEF chapter’s banquet held every winter at the county fairgrounds. Last year over 200 supporters turned out to eat at the banquet, buy raffle tickets and bid on luxurious auction items. The banquet raised $54,000 that went into a money pot for the RMEF national convention. “Whether people attend our banquet or others, anything that they donate to these causes help all the way around,� said Dan Michaelson, Lakeview RMEF member who resides on the banquet committee. Whether at home or another
region, all goes toward worthy causes to improve wildlife habitat and open up hunting lands. According to Bob Bastian, Oregon senior regional director for RMEF, over $320,000 was used in Oregon collected from all state chapters, $60,000 of which came from Lake County last year, helping to support around 26 projects that service land protection in terms of acquisition, conservation easement and land exchange as well as habitat and wildlife stewardship. “It takes a considerable amount of effort to get RMEF funding for a project,� said Bastian, as each project proposal under the stewardship needs to raise 50 percent of the money for it to be considered. He reasoned that it shows the board, made up of various partners, that the public is excited about the projects and is behind them. Bastian explained that even though the projects in Lake County were in short supply, they were the

These projects also vary in scope, size and impact. Bastian said that one of the prime projects is meadow maintenance, which is essential for wildlife. Maintenance is used to reduce the encroachment of different pines, and if they are not properly eliminated the meadows get smaller and smaller. Elk that make use of the meadows are grazers that need big grassy meadows like these. In Lake County especially, juniper removal is a critical undertaking. These trees use as much as 300 gallons of water per day, siphoning off water that could be used elsewhere, and generally is not a species that is beneficial to wildlife. Another endeavor that the RMEF takes on is acquiring parcels of private land. “By purchasing the access we opened up to the
public over 100,000 acres,� said Bastian. Bastian emphasized that land is never kept by the RMEF, but instead is purchased as an interim so that the RMEF can then sell or give the land to the National Forest Service or state agencies with the idea of keeping the areas open to access for the public. This is crucial to the RMEF’s mission, “to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage,� since 97 percent of the hunters hunt on public land, while the other three percent hunt on exclusive private land. Michaelson urged those who have the desire to assist in these efforts to either join the RMEF local chapter or join the banquet committee, which always needs a helping hand.

What to pack, and leave behind, when prepping for the hunt By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Tags have been bought, supplies purchased and the date on the calendar circled for a hunting trip that has been anticipated all year. All that’s left is to pack up the supplies and hit the road, but what should and shouldn’t be brought for the trip ahead when determining items to bring both out of necessity and comfort? With all of the available hunting accessories these days, it is very easy to overload a pack with gear that may not be necessary for the trip ahead, or worse leave behind something that once out in the wilderness would have come in handy for the sake of saving a few pounds. When determining what to bring, it’s important to rem e m ber that it’s not only the weight b e i n g b ro u g h t in, but if the hunt is successful there will be an added burden of animal meat brought back out in addition to equipment. “My advice to anyone that is going to hunt, regardless of whether doing a desert hunt for antelope in August or a November elk hunt in winter, you need to take what you need to get through a night out in the wilderness,” said Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife District Biologist Craig Foster. “Most don’t spend a night out,
but every now and then it happens, and when it does you need to have the ability to survive a night.” The single most important aspect of overnight survival is the ability to make a fire, even when it’s wet, and without the aide of gasoline or newspaper, according to Foster. It’s a skill that should be developed and practiced before it’s needed, the ability to make a fire with just matches and leftover toilet paper in adverse conditions. Even with advancements in thermal clothing technology, there’s nothing better, if spending a cold night out, than warming up next to a contained fire, as well as keeping undesired critters away. Also vital in any excursion is carrying enough water, or the capacity to make potable water through a filtration system. The amount of water required is dependent on the amount of hiking to be expected as well as weather conditions, but one of the biggest mistakes possible is not carrying enough supply for the demand. “My pack consists of matches, a water bottle, a filter straw so I can suck water out of a creek if need be, and a change of clothes,” said Foster. “If it’s an August hunt I may have a couple half-gallon water bottles, and if it’s too much weight I can always dump it out. I’ll carry a couple knives to cut up an animal, and I can cover myself in meat sacks if they’re not bloody if I have to spend a night out.” With advancements in clothing technology, materials have gotten lighter and warmer, reducing the amount needed to pack while simultane-

Planning ahead for what to bring on a hunt is dependent on the tools needed versus the weight desired for non-essential items. What’s most important is to bring enough supplies to survive for at least one night in the wild. ously lightening the load. Parachute cord too has become an essential item, 100 feet of it weighing only a couple ounces compared to old heavy ropes. Far better to pack plenty of the near weightless material than having to drag out a carcass with bootlaces or a belt, something Foster admits to having done in his younger years. “It’s important to think about how you are going to bring your meat out,” said Foster. “You need to plan for carrying out whatever you may be fortunate enough to kill. If
you continue to hunt and progress in skills you learn what works for you, and what you enjoy and don’t.” While extra weapons or knives or the newest accessory may be nice, Foster emphasizes the importance that the essential gear to bring is all about being able to survive a night and carrying out the kill afterwards, with enough water being essential. While no hunter is exactly the same in terms of preferred equipment, some treating it in a traditional sense carrying old heirlooms and hand-me-downs while oth-
ers pack the newest gear, it is always better to carry the extra weight for something that may not be needed rather than leaving behind something important. In the end it comes down to what is wanted versus what it needed, and there is a learning curve to perfecting the right pack. As long as the priority is carrying everything needed to survive at least one night, then feel free to carry as much extra weight of luxury items as the pack, and your back, will allow.

to drain wallets, product manufacturers are quick to showcase their newest ballistic bullet, camo gear or digital scope, but amidst the vast landscape of accessories to acquire in preparation for the next hunt or fishing excursion how does a sportsman separate the useful items from the superfluous? According to Foster, it’s clothing, GPS and water filtration technology that have been the biggest useful advancements over the past decade. Whereas in the past wool was the standard uniform for the winter hunter, always warm but a heavy burden when wet,
now new thermal clothing capable of dissipating heat and moisture when it’s hot and being able to insulate when it’s cold has made the biggest difference. “The quality of clothing has changed, now you can layer and build and it’s all lightweight,� said Foster. “When I started with ODFW rarely would an elk season go by that we didn’t find at least one hypothermia case, but with new technology and advances in clothing the survivability is much better. People have more knowledge about proper clothing too. In the past field magazines never talked about dressing
for the outdoors or personal health, now it’s half the magazine.� GPS technology, particularly the inReach GPS, has also added to the survivability aspect of being in the wilderness, providing not only immediate location but also two-way communication and emergency beacon capabilities. Water filtration systems have become smaller, lighter and more varied, providing ample opportunities to hydrate from water supplies in the wild when canteens run low. Yet beyond tracking locators, warm clothing and water supplies, there is an overabundance of luxury items flooding the market, eye candy for the sportsman wanting to show off their latest and greatest toy. Yet when it comes to many of the new products on the market, it seems as though their intent is to hook the fisherman, not the fish. “Some people want to buy everything, it’s a business, put camo on it and the value has been raised,� said Trevor Watson, assistant district fish biologist for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Some of it has gotten very expensive, but many people, as soon as the newest best thing comes out, they have to have it.� “Is there a significant difference in ballistics in the ability to kill an animal for a weapon developed a century ago compared to today, maybe, but the animal is still just as dead,� said Foster. “It comes down to being prepared, not necessarily for what is needed to kill an antelope or the newest technology, but what do I need to survive a night going in and coming out safely. A GPS is the coolest thing in the world, until the batteries die.�

From Africa to the Outback
Stepping inside the home of LD Bennett, one can tell of the time, dedication and enthusiasm the 78-year-old hunter has for the sport. Around 20 head trophies, not to mention a full sized lioness are on display in all parts of his beautiful home complete with vaulted cathedral ceilings, which affords more space to display the winnings to his visitors. Of his taxidermy collection, Bennett said that it helps preserve the memory of the hunt. “I find that the trophies are beautiful,” he said. “I like to look at them! They give me memories of the hunt.” Bennett has taken three trips to Africa to gather heads of a variety of species such as springbuck, impalas, cape eland and many others. One of his most impressive features within his home is the African lioness that has a story all its own. While on a safari hunt in 2007 with the ambitions of claiming a cape buffalo, which is also proudly on display, he had a bit of time left over. His guide offered him the chance to hunt a lion but Bennett declined since By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
A record elk buck bagged by LD Bennett, Lake County resident, hangs prominently in his home, a kill that helmed an exceptional score in the Boon and Crocket Record Book.
it wasn’t in his budget. The guide was persuasive enough, explaining that since lion hunting would soon be outlawed he would get a considerable deal. Without telling his wife Nancy, Bennett took the kill, got a full body mount and had it shipped over to the states for a much cheaper price than he expected. Bennett explained that lions belong in a category of their own as Big Five, which also include the African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard and White/Black rhinoceros. He even found the time to travel to New Zealand in 2010 to collect a thow deer and red stag. To taxidermy an average head isn’t too much of a financial burden, explained Bennett, adding that it is about a few hundred dollars for the most basic mount. “It’s relatively inexpensive,” he said. “It’s something anybody can afford.” Though Bennett finds the thrill of the African safari deeply satisfying along JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner with other globe-trotting ventures, he finds great solace in the Oregon Outback and LD Bennett shows off the numerous head trophies that other such regions about the west. he acquired through multiple trips to Africa. His 400 acres of property affords great
deer hunting, Bennett explained adding that depending on the size of the property landowner preference tags are granted. Because of the size of his property, he receives two tags, making it easy to cut up the animals at his locker and butcher room that are on site to store for the year. Among his more regional hunts he killed one of his most prestigious trophies, a bull elk from Idaho that scored a 406 on the Boone and Crocket Record Book, an exceptional score. Bennett said that it scored high because the lengths of the horns and its general symmetry. Other than hunting, Bennett is on the committee for the local chapter for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. “I’m very interested in elk and deer,” he said, “whether I hunt them or not, the preservation and health of the deer and elk are important.” Through a large banquet held every January each year, the proceeds go toward wildlife and habitat preservation projects in the area. “I’m very interested in wildlife in general,” he said, adding that he would rather be outdoors than inside.

Preservation efforts aplenty for OHA Lake County’s Oregon Hunters Association (OHA) chapter takes a proactive approach on preserving the hunting lifestyle through practice and projects. Among the various projects such as building and maintaining more than 200 water guzzlers, building duck boxes, and planting bitterbrush, all helping in maintaining the county wildlife, the local OHA chapter has other efforts that go forward. One of these is the support of the local Oregon State Police wildlife game official, Ryan Tague, tasked with catching and writing tickets to poachers who hunt without tags. The local OHA chapter bought three cameras to help Tague in this mission. Keith Reed, president of the Lake County chapter, reasoned that it is to “keep people honest” and to help keep the tradition and integrity of the sport alive since one spoiled apple can sometimes ruin the whole barrel. Reed is happy to report that these devices have helped in this aspect. Trooper Tague also cited those who litter and otherwise damage the wildlife habitat of the public lands. Reed said that District Attorney Ulys Stapleton also lends a hand in the chapter’s mission by donating money that comes from hunting violations to the organization, which then goes back to these By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

sorts of projects. Reaching out to local ranchers and farmers also help accomplish their set mission by assisting them in getting involved in utilizing the landowner preference tags or donating them for auction as well as wildlife enhancement in setting up duck boxes at appropriate locations. They also work with Collins Timber, a local company that donates a tag for the annual banquet each year, in weed removal, helping natural resources get going throughout the area, Reed explained. Another annual effort that falls into a recreational and education category is the Youth Day that happens on the last weekend of June. During this day’s worth of events, the OHA members instruct youth about hunting safety with a variety of bows, rifles and shotguns out in the woods, the goal of which is to help the younger generation get involved at an early age and stress to them the importance of maintaining wildlife. “We would like everyone to support us and help us when we have events,” said Reed. “If anyone has any ideas on what to spend the money on, come to our meetings and let us know.” OHA’s Lake County chapter meets at the Eagles Lodge at 6 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month.

11th Annual Les Schwab Lucky Buck Contest By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner For any hunter, whether he or she prefers the rifle or bow, the second part of the thrill of the hunt is showing off the kill. Lakeview’s Les Schwab grants that chance for Lake County hunters every year by way of its annual Lucky Buck Contest. With over a decade behind them, this year marking its 11th season, Les Schwab has been the go-to place to relay any size kill for a chance to win noteworthy prizes. As before, submission into the contest is relatively simple: bring
in the buck’s antlers and its respective ticket to be put in the drawing for a prize. No pre-registration or fee is required, but contestants must show the tag and hunting license for their entry to be valid. A collage board of submissions with each contestant’s picture of their kill will be on display at the Lakeview store for customers and staff to admire and appreciate. There are two contests that are determined by which weapon is used for each kill. Those who kill their elk or deer with a rifle will be put in for a chance to win a rifle, and the same goes for a bow kill. The
two earliest contestants to submit their entry of a rifle hunted buck and a bow hunted buck are granted $50 product and service gift certificates each. “We put this on a yearly basis to support the heritage of hunting,” said Les Schwab Mgr. Kerry Rucker. “We would like to see the hunting tradition kept alive.” Following the hunting season, Les Schwab managers will be pulling the lucky winners in November to determine each winner. For more information, contact Les Schwab Tires at 541-947-3388, 422 N. F St. in Lakeview.

Game and fish populations remain strong By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Courtesy of Fish and Wildlife Service
Despite drought conditions, low water levels, and predator’s K^PUKSPUN ZVTL OLYKZ Ă„ZO HUK ^PSK NHTL WVW\SH[PVUZ YLTHPU strong across Lake County. Despite drought and low water levels, wild game and fish populations across Lake County remain high providing a plentiful bounty for the local sportsman. Hatcheries have provided reservoirs with large stocks to catch, and most herds are reported to have ample bucks to be targeted. All things seem to be a go for the 2015 hunting and fishing season. While some low water levels exist, according to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Assistant District Fish Biologist Trevor Watson, all fisheries are stocked and fishing reports indicate a positive yield of fish to catch. “We’ve had good reports at Cottonwood Meadows, Lofton, Campbell and Deadhorse,â€? said Watson. “Fishing at Ana Reservoir and Ana River has been hot, the fish quality of fish has been amazing. Pleasantly we have had good fishing reports, people are happy with what they have been able to catch even with the heat. I haven’t heard from many unhappy fishermen.â€? To help ease stress on fish populations statewide there is a restriction on hours between 2 p.m. and one hour before sunrise, so get to the reservoirs early in the morning to get in a full day of casting. According to Watson, Withers and Slide near Paisley, both brown trout fisheries, have
had some algae growth because of the warm spring, but for those willing to fish there the fish are large. Those areas were not stocked with fingerlings last year, so there is a missing age class of about six inch fish not being present, but fingerlings stocked previously should be full growth next year, with Watson indicating that they will both be stocked annually going forward. As for the big game herds, ODFW Biologist Craig Foster reported that antelope populations are at an all-time high across the county everywhere. Fawn survival has been very good for several years, resulting in a numbers boom, directly correlated to low coyote populations across Lake County. “Tag numbers with the exception of one hunt have been as high as they have ever been,� said Foster. Based on post-season buck ratios managed for around 25 bucks per 100 does, according to Foster antelope are at or above desired buck ratios in every herd. While antelope are strong, mule deer are not as plentiful as hoped, with numbers at about half of desired levels. According to Foster there are multiple reasons for the population downturn; habitat quality, predator densities, illegal harvest, drought conditions and other factors

The
have played a role. “We have been fairly restrictive with mule deer tag numbers, so buck ratios are at or above our management objective,� said Foster. “It’s harder to draw a tag than it used to be, but for those that do draw a tag the hunting has been good.� For the other two major big game, elk and big horn sheep, the numbers are expectedly very low. The low elk numbers Foster attributes to significant disease problems limiting population size. Hunter success rate for elk hunts ranges around two to six percent, so while numbers may not be at desired levels, Foster said not to despair, as some hunters have killed some fairly nice bulls. Finally, big horn sheep, the most coveted of tags with only 90 distributed in the state annually, is simply a luck of the draw. According to Foster, the herds are doing okay, with habitat issues not affecting overall population numbers nearly as much as cougar perdition. “The biggest herd right now is about 180 sheep, so cougars take a toll,� said Foster. “If we could more effectively manage cougar populations we could be more liberal with our sheep tags. Mountain lions are the biggest limiting factor right now.�
