The four new units will be three for Rocky Mtns.
Stansbury - sheep came from Antelop Island
Pilot Mountain - sheep came from Antelope Island and Nevada
Goslin Mountain - sheep came from Montana
Desert Unit - ONE new one.
Zions - sheep came from Nevada. Probably 4 desert permits in 2010 on this unit.
On another note, there will be a total of 16 sheep hunts offered for those who attend the Expo in SLC. There will be 7 dall sheep hunts and 3 or 4 stone sheep hunts amongst them.
YOu can check out the information at
www.fullcurl.org or at
www.huntexpo.com and click on the 200 permits.
Stone and Dall sheep hunts are very pricey. However Karl Malone and some other guys, have put up some HUGE money to help acquire these hunts and then provide them in various drawings for those who attend teh expo for some minimal application fees $10 or $40, to win a $20,000 or $35,000 hunt.
The reason that karl and i and others are working on this project is to see young guys, who draw a desert or rocky, to then be able to go one and get a Dall or stone hunt as well.
Once sheep hunting gets in your blood, it is there.
And, as one hunter mentioned, sheep hunting can be the hardest and most frustrating hunt, and THEN the MOST rewarding.
To set a life long goal to get all four sheep, and then to do it is pretty rewarding. I know ten guys who completed the Full Curl this year, pretty cool to do, so set your goal and work to get it done.
glad to answer any questions about the sheep hunts at the Expo or at the Full Curl Socitey meeting, which will be at the Expo on Saturday afternoon.
