Stansbury sheep hunt

[shortbus]

My wife drew this permit with four points. She just got the call from the state wide sheep biologist. They flew the unit this past week. There has been a 95% die off and not the 35-50% they projected. THIS HUNT HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN CLOSED! She has to mail her tag back in and will get a full refund. Her luck of a 4 point draw is now back into the general pool to wait a lifetime to draw a once in a lifetime tag! She is very disappointed. I am glad they did it sooner than later after we had spent more money scouting. I feel really bad for her. She was really looking forward to this opportunity . I guess you can't hunt what's not there. I knew this was a possibility, but I was hoping that it wouldn't happen this way.

Oh man what a shame... I have applied for sheep on that unit for 6 years and enjoyed watching them out there... It will be a long time before it comes back to a huntable population... Sorry about your wife's hunt but at least you get your money back...

Very Sad to watch units like that crash!

It was our closest location for a cheap "Sheep Fix"!

Tragic indeed.

Wonder if that exotic sheep Riedgetops saw last year is the culprit. So sad.

Been a couple of Domestic Sheep out there!

I Think it was Vanilla that said:

Range Maggots should be Shot on Sight!

I Agree!
