    I don’t claim to know what sheep numbers would be like without auction tag money. It does raise more questions that kuiu has pulled off funding a number of translocations and collaring projects without a sheep having to die

The year before we hunted the area and I’d say hunted as a team, I killed a spike and he went home empty handed. The next year back to the same area is when things kinda fell apart.
