Originally posted by Puncher51 View PostThe herd at Sierra Diablo has been declining, other than that I think they are doing ok. My guess is they will be relocating more sheep around.
They will still hunt Black Gap and Elephanta WMAs. (Auction and grand slam)
They are going to do a relocation in not too distant future, but not from Diablo and surrounding ranges.
Bighorns are weak hearted, always looking for a cave to crawl in and die.

GUIDED BIGHORN SHEEP HUNT PACKAGE
Application Deadline: October 15, 2017
Due to desert bighorn sheep restoration efforts between Trans-Pecos WMAs scheduled for this year, prospects for a guided bighorn sheep hunt are uncertain. If a permit becomes available, the guided bighorn sheep hunt category will become active and public hunters with an email on file will receive notification.

Tpw in their infinite wisdom, f'd it up.
Likely they relocated the ones they were going to let some poor sap kill to some private land, but killed them in the process of moving them.....
I've been seeing their photos of the helicopter surveys on facebook lately and there are some pics of some mature rams in there, so maybe that will happen soon??

Originally posted by Atfulldraw View PostFeel free to believe that if you want, but I saw the dead ones with my own eyes that they tried to move to private land, and then blamed it on an STD when they died.
Either they are idiots or they think we are.....
Large part of transplanted sheep come from private land and get moved to both state land or other private property.
Without these transplants there would be much fewer hunting opputinuties for both public and private property.
