Haven’t seen this posted here. Hopefully some from the HT crowd throw their names in.

“Restoration projects for bighorn sheep face many challenges, especially in areas dominated by private land. To help identify these challenges and potential solutions Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is creating the Bighorn Sheep Restoration Advisory Panel.  

“Many private lands around the state offer excellent habitat potential for bighorn sheep and can provide important restoration opportunities,” said Quentin Kujala, FWP’s chief of conservation policy. “We’re looking for a diverse group of passionate individuals to help us create ways to evaluate private land restoration projects and solve challenges we may encounter.”

We’re always talking about how demand for sheep tags is increasing while available tags are continually decreasing over time. There’s a decent amount of suitable sheep habitat in eastern MT and I hope this means FWP is going to take a serious look at possible introductions in places like the lower Yellowstone River breaks.
