If you&#39;ve got the goods on Google to set your own page ranking for a &quot;bighorn ewe&quot; search then man you can walk on water. HotShot doesn&#39;t seem to realize that it&#39;s his/her comments that are upping the rank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429953801512916481.post-52690801149387374372010-04-11T22:18:00.472-06:002010-04-11T22:18:00.472-06:00please excuse my mistake...<br /><br />third paragraph, second sentence should read &quot;though it is a minor sacrifice FOR A PRACTICE that has long been recognized....&quot;<br /><br />thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429953801512916481.post-76104692693583931692010-04-11T22:00:54.518-06:002010-04-11T22:00:54.518-06:00thousands eh? wow, your purported &#39;obsevation&#39; numbers exceed the entire population of New Mexico&#39;s rocky population...a real sheep hero you claim to be then? thousands...dear christ almighty<br /><br />hotshot? me, no...I am but a humble servant to the well-being of all wild sheep, and recognize the imperative value of proper telemetry studies, range maximums, and the place of hunters and transplants to control and restore historic bighorn habitats to their utmost advantage...<br /><br />yes, animals are sometimes unfortunately lost to fatal stress in the capturing or collaring of any wild specie...though actually it is a minor sacrifice that has long been recognized as being a worthwhile tool to better manage big game (ungulate OR predator) populations<br /><br />....the ewe you attempt to martyr here will be just fine, despite the MAJOR inconvienence of having the box bump her chin when she drinks :)<br /><br />you claim yourself as a biologist?...truly despicable<br /><br />so then, volunteer yourself as a bighorn &#39;bird dog&#39; (pretty much ANY one can follow a bighorn band), and keep on &#39;em through fat and LEAN...and provide publicly the necessary, ACCURATE observations of your(fanciful)extended ardent toil in the sheep field...yes, oh mighty Peaceful Warrior, go on ahead :)<br /><br />don&#39;t be an idiot...pull yer bullshit headline off of google search under &#39;bighorn ewe&#39;<br /><br />and DO NOT tell me you don&#39;t know how it got there<br /><br />I count the TRUE authorities of NA wild sheep conservation amongst my colleagues and friends, and have collaborated with them to make the major decisions regarding the management and expansion of respective wild sheep programs<br /><br />telemetry has, and always will do more work than any footbound &#39;hero&#39; such as you imagine your sorry self to be will EVER do for proper science<br /><br />do your apparently feeble mind a favor, and look into the man Bart Schleyer was as a true &#39;bird dog&#39; (of griz and tiger) who did his incredible life&#39;s work to ASSIST radio-telemetry studies of the animals he loved so well<br /><br />pull yer BS conjecture off the internet and do some goddamned homework...<br /><br />now in all due respect to you as a fellow human, apologies for railin&#39; ya so harshly, but ignrorant &#39;righteous&#39; kooks like you piss me off<br /><br />so, will you take some damned resonsibility for your shortsighted spray, or just go ahead and try to defend your useless speculative conjecture?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8429953801512916481.post-8400945087469055972010-04-03T16:03:46.380-06:002010-04-03T16:03:46.380-06:00I have worked as a biologist and observed and photographed bighorns (thousands)for over 40 years.I have photographed Dall&#39;s Sheep, Stone&#39;s sheep, Desert Bighorns, Peninsular Desert Sheep and Rocky Mountain Bighorns. I would be happy to match knowledge and credentials with you anytime. I have helped put radio collars on bighorns and ,sadly enough, watched one die from the stress as we studied it.<br />What do you do hotshot?
