Stupid post....
The idea of rolling your Rocky points into your desert and California sheep point totals because the hunts have been temporarily suspended for NR is absolute nonsense.
Rockies are a whole different subspecies than Cali and Nelsons. They are however close genetically to California sheep, that's why the state often groups them on the same hunt stats/check-in sheet, but they are different. Same reason every other state that has California and Rockies, like Idaho and Oregon, don't group the two sub-species into the same bonus-point pool.
My advice: Stop your WINING and MOANING and if you can (if the state allows you to do so) keep buying your points if you want a chance at pulling a tag in the future. If not....well that's just they way it goes. Believe me, much of the NDOW staff are as die-hard as you and I are when it comes to hunting, and would like to have more sheep, deer, elk, etc. for all of us to hunt. Unfortunate events like die-offs happen, no matter how hard the agency works to prevent it, and as a result there are fewer tags available to distribute until populations are reestablished or new populations are established.
That's just the way it is....
