Pretty interesting stuff on pneumonia in the Hells Canyon area.

Very cool video! IMO they should not allow domestic sheep in a forest in ANY state, period.

It is pretty unfortunate that domestics destroy wild sheep. We had a really healthy and up and coming herd here in Utah(Provo area) go from 60-80 bighorns down to none in 3 years, because of a few domestic sheep getting loose on their range.

Idaho politicians are really taking a bad stand on this one. I guess the constituents are mostly grazers but this is ridiculous. Hope WSU comes up with a cure sometime soon...

Thanks for sharing that video. I drew the Timp, Ut tag last year and it looks like it might be the last tag they ever give out for that unit. The DWR shot a domistic goat just yesterday, that was with some sheep. There numbers are declining fast. I only saw 2 lambs during my hunt. Sure would be nice for everybody if they could come up with a vaccine.
