I read the recent article in the Capital Press, and I want you to know that your fears are well founded. The government agencies are following the environmentalist agenda and storming over any and all who get in their way. As one who uses goats as a pack animal, I am slowly being pushed out of many jurisdictions and could eventually be restricted from any forest where Bighorn Sheep (BHS) might be found. At present, the Shoshone NF, Wind River Range is close, the portions of the Santa Fe and Inyo, Catalina Mountains in Arizona, the Owyhees in Idaho and the Blue Mountains in Oregon are working like mad to keep me out of the mountains in Oregon. It will not be long before goat packers are locked out of any forest where there is even a remote chance of being in proximity with BHS.
I’ve seen 7 wolves so far. I know many ranchers near Curlew and they’re not happy with the Conservation Northwest enviro-terrorists and neither am I. The ranchers need to figure out a way to get CNW out of controlling the WDFW..
I feel you guys and know the folks that are losing their lively hood because of the CNW people.
I live in Jackson Hole WY on a cattle ranch just outside of town. We were pressured to give up our alottment in 1999 due to grizzlies and wolves. We now have grazing on private property not to far from the main ranch. Last year we lost 4 calves and 4 cows to a pack of wolves 26 strong. This year we have lost so far 2 cows and 1 calf. When are people going to realize this is a major problem. So sorry for you losses as well. Our state just recently received the right to defend our herds and hunt wolves. Hopefully we will have no more losses.
