You have an interest in wild sheep; otherwise you wouldn’tbe reading this publication. Many of you have a PASSIONfor wild sheep. I know I do. If you are not already a memberof both FNAWS and CA FNAWS – it’s time to change that!Membership is the first step in making a positive differencefor wild sheep now and for the future. There are 2 otherorganizations you should also be a member of: 1) SCI forprotecting the rights of Hunters and 2) NRA for protectingthe Second Amendment. These organizations do the “heavylifting” for Hunters Rights and Second Amendment Rightsrespectively. Beyond that, you should be a member of thespecies focused organizations, e.g. FNAWS and CA FNAWS,where you have a particular interest. Please evaluate yourmembership status and expand it as needed this month. Wemust be numerous, organized and working together todefeat the “antis”!

It’s Board election time and we have 7 excellent candidates. Since we have 7 positions this cycle, they are a virtual“shoo-in.” Nevertheless, please show your support by voting.

Recruiting – our efforts to grow are working. We now have over 210 members. Over 100 are Life Members, and our ranks include 5 Triple Slammers, 6 Capra Slammers, 12 World or Super Slammers, 65 Grand Slammers, 24 Three-Quarter Slammers, and at least 40 who are still hoping and planning for their first sheep hunt or otherwise committed to their health and welfare. We’d like to double membership this year. You can help. Please recruit at least one new member.

Help make CA FNAWS, extraordinary – Extend your membership (or better yet make it PERMANENT), Participate,Recruit a new member, Volunteer, Donate, and Help other Hunters. My door, phone line, and e-mail are open toreceiving your ideas, feedback, suggestions and offers to get involved!

Representatives from four key organizations met inSacramento on May 4 to continue planning for thefuture of California’s wild mountain sheep. Participantsincluded key people from the California Department ofFish and Game, the Society for the Conservation ofBighorn Sheep, the Mojave National Preserve, as well asCalifornia FNAWS, which sponsored the meeting.

Following up on the progress that was made lastyear at the first Sheep Summit, the group agreed firston a common vision, then on the key strategic stepsthat needed to be taken to implement that vision. Specific individuals volunteered to head up the varioustask forces that were needed, and specific charges anddeadlines were set and agreed to.

We consider this a major step in the continuingmovement towards achieving our common goal ofputting and keeping more sheep on the mountains inthe Golden State.

The group agreed to meet again this fall in South-ern California to continue the progress that was madein Sacramento. At that meeting, we plan to include theUS Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management,and Desert Wildlife Unlimited, along with key person-nel from the national parks at Death Valley and JoshuaTree, as well as the organizations that attended inSacramento.

The Collective Vision, Primary Strategies andAction Plan from that meeting follow:

COLLECTIVE VISION FOR WILD SHEEP IN CALIFORNIA:

• Ensure the persistence and restoration of healthy andsustainable metapopulations of bighorn sheepthroughout their historical distribution in California.

• Use science as the basis for conservation and management.

• Provide for recreational uses of bighorn sheep wherever appropriate.

ORGANIZATIONS AND AGENCIES COMMITTED:

CADFG, CAFNAWS, DBC, DWU, FNAWS, MNP, SCBS{need Land Management Agencies to buy in – i.e. BLM,US Forest Service, DOD, Other NPS}

PRIMARY STRATEGIES TO PROGRESS TOWARD THE VISION IN THE NEXT 3 YEARS:

• Elevate “conservation” to an equivalent level of con-cern to “wilderness” and “public land use” issues.

• Identify and address limiting factors and threats topersistence and recovery of bighorn sheep – domesticsheep grazing, development, wildlife corridor man-agement/preservation

• Identify and re-establish populations of bighornsheep.

KEY ISSUES/ROADBLOCKS/POTENTIAL ROAD-BLOCKS TO MONITOR AND/OR MANAGE:

• Political activism by groups with competing interestsor beliefs

• “Radical Environmentalists” e.g. Center for BiologicalDiversity (adversarial in Desert, supported on stop-ping grazing in Sierras), HSUS, Wilderness Coalition,etc.

• Livestock interests• Bureaucratic inertia & Inter Agency competition• Unforeseen major disease outbreak, die-off or habitat

loss

Note: An Action Plan was created with accountable per-sons and timelines.

RAFFLE SHEEP HUNTS

We are very excited to announce that, once again, we will be holding a raffle for TWO awesome sheephunts!

Tickets are now available for our 2007-2008 sheep raffles. As we did this past year, we will have twolucky winners. The winners will be drawn at our 6th Annual Fundraiser in Sacramento on Saturday, May3, 2008. This time, however, we’ve raised the standard to make the raffle even better. Take a look at this:

• Hunt #1 – Stone Sheep with Derek Drinnan of Misty Mountain Outfitters in British Columbia. Derek’s hunters have taken some great sheep and he provides great personal service as well. This hunt will start on August16, 2008 and runs through August 31. This hunt is fully inclusive, so the winner will pay for only for the license, tag, and transportation to and from camp.

• Hunt #2 – Fannin or Dall Sheep with Pete Jensen, August 1 – 10, 2009. As you know, a Fannin counts as a Stone for your Grand Slam. Pete’s hunters take about 60% Fannins, so this hunt offers the winner the opportunity to take either species for his trophy room!

This year, we will have one raffle bin, but draw two tickets. The winner will have his choice of the twohunts, and the second winner drawn will get the remaining hunt. The first winner will have 14 daysfrom notification to select the hunt he prefers. We will then immediately notify the second winner ofthe hunt he has won.

Both Pete and Derek have been great supporters of CA FNAWS, and we have Directors who have huntedwith each of them and give them both great reviews.

Check out our web site at http://www.cafnaws.org to get your tickets, or simply fill out the raffle form inthis issue of California Wild Sheep, then mail or fax it in.

Good luck!


Populations ofmountain lions werethought to be self-regulating for manyyears. Sophisticatednew techniques, cou-pled with researchquestions firmlyentrenched in anevolutionary contexthave, however, pro-duced results that arecontrary to previoushypotheses. We were

the first to demonstrate that mountain lion popula-tions were regulated by their food supply (that is, pop-ulation levels were determined by the nutritional carry-ing capacity of their environment), and not primarilyby “social mechanisms.” The confusion was a result ofthe relatively long time lags between growth trends inprey populations and resulting responses in the preda-tor population. Because populations of large carnivoreslike mountain lions recruit only a small number ofindividuals each year, effects on recruitment may notbe apparent for extended periods of time. Recent workby others has been consistent with our conclusions;together, these results have important implications forthe management of mountain lions.

The number of mountain lions inhabiting a partic-ular geographic area is largely determined by the avail-ability of primary prey, which frequently is mule deer.Thus, a population of lions would be expected toincrease until food availability became a factor thatlimited the ability of individual animals to successfullyreproduce and recruit young into the population; therate of growth of the population of lions would varywith its density relative to prey populations, and wouldexhibit density dependence. If food availability didlimit a population of mountain lions, the removal ofindividual lions (whatever the cause) would representcompensatory mortality because these animals wouldhave died of other causes anyway. To drive such popu-lations downward (that is, to limit the population of

lions below what the prey base would support, or K),adult mortality must exceed the ability of the popula-tion to recruit young. Intensive harvest, either throughthe use of bounties, professional hunters, or by sporthunting, is a means by which such a population oflions might be held below the level dictated by theprey base. In most areas, and, especially with a stableprey base, however, removals are not adequate to offsetthe ability of the population to replace individuals lostto guns or traps.

Under other circumstances, as in an area where apopulation of mountain lions is responding positivelyto increasing prey, the removal of individual lionswould represent additive mortality, because thosedeaths are in addition to those that might be expectedto occur in the absence of removals by humans. Insuch scenarios, increases in the population of moun-tain lions might be slowed relative to what would beexpected in the absence of removals, and may speedthe rate of increase of prey. Management that results inadditive mortality for the predator has potentiallyimportant implications for the recovery (or increase) ofprey populations that are at low densities, either as aresult of predation or for other reasons.

Forage availability, prey, and predators interact in anumber of ways, all of which result in feedback mecha-nisms that have important implications for the man-agement of mountain lions in the absence of politicalor legislative intervention. Further, the abundance ofsecondary prey further complicates the responses ofmountain lions and other predators to direct manage-ment actions, or to actions affecting their primary prey.For example, investigators in New Mexico have report-ed that beef calves on rangelands appear to have “sub-sidized” mountain lions where deer are not abundant,and their availability may be a factor exacerbating ratesof lion predation on mountain sheep in the absence ofintensive lion control.

If a management goal is to maintain populations ofungulates at high levels (e.g., to support a high sportharvest), removal of mountain lions will help do soonly when prey populations exhibit characteristics thatinclude good body condition and high reproductive

rates and recruitment, among other traits. Thus, inpopulations of prey that have declined substantially asa result of a catastrophic event and are not nutritional-ly constrained, predation can be a factor that limits thegrowth rate of that population and control of moun-tain lions could lead to an increased rate of growth inthe prey population. When prey populations decline inthe absence of a secondary species of prey (that wouldhelp maintain the population of lions at a high level ifit were present), however, lion numbers will eventuallydecline, lagging behind their prey even in the absenceof harvest. As a result, additive mortality among preywill decrease, and the prey population will again growuntil it reaches a level commensurate with the nutri-tional carrying capacity of its environment. At thatpoint, lion predation will again become a source ofcompensatory mortality for the prey population.

Historical levels of removal may have severelyeffected some mountain lion populations, particularlyduring periods when bounties were paid. Indeed, thereis strong evidence that intensive lion control duringthe early 1900s was a factor important in the popula-tion dynamics of mountain sheep in California’s SanGabriel Mountains. There is also evidence that cessa-tion of bounty hunting, when combined with habitatchanges resulting from fire suppression, resulted inextreme dynamics of mule deer (the primary prey) andultimately contributed to the decline of mountainsheep in that range. What is clear is that lion removalwas intensive, and it was implemented by individualsthat were rewarded financially for their efforts.Whether regulated sport hunting can occur at rates suf-ficient to effect ungulate population dynamics isunclear; in the absence of high rates of harvest of theirprimary predators, however, few benefits to ungulatepopulations are likely to accrue.

The initiative process has “tied the hands” of professional wildlife managers in California by

eliminating a number of management options thatwere formerly available. Further, initiatives in otherstates have eliminated the use of hounds as a methodof pursuing mountain lions. Although lions have beenafforded special protection in California, recent legisla-tion has provided the Department of Fish and Gamethe authority to remove lions that threaten the persis-tence of any population of mountain sheep. That legis-lation was passed by a near unanimous vote in theState Legislature, and has returned to the Departmentsome of the authority that had been usurped by theinitiative process. As a result, management programs toprotect small populations of mountain sheep havebeen implemented on a localized basis, with good suc-cess, and without public outcry. It is doubtful, howev-er, if the ability to manage mountain lions at a levelthat would affect populations of other ungulate preywill be restored to wildlife biologists, who are the indi-viduals best trained to make those decisions. That abili-ty was lost through the initiative process, and can onlybe restored through the initiative process, or by a four-fifths vote of the legislature; neither is likely to occurin California.

Over two dozen of the top sheep experts in the worldconvened at UC Davis on April 25 and 26 to discussthe relationship between domestic and wild sheep as itpertains to respiratory diseases. Scientists, biologists,pathologists, and other experts representing ten statesand three countries spent the two days sharing infor-mation on this issue and discussing strategies to allevi-ate or minimize the problems that contact betweendomestic and wild sheep can create. In addition to wildsheep experts, scientists from the sheep growers andcattle industry were also represented.

This workshop was jointly sponsored by CA FNAWS,FNAWS, and UC Davis.Several of the experts who attended considered this tobe the most important meeting of the subject of therelationship between domestic and wild sheep everheld, as far as the respiratory disease issue is concerned.A follow-up meeting will be held this fall in Tuscon.

At the end of the meeting, all of the parties agreed thatcontact between domestic and wild sheep must beavoided!

Recommendations for the Future

In summary, Working Group D suggested consultingwith ecological risk assessment modelers using the Sier-ra-Nevada model as a starting point to develop a tem-plate for decision makers.

Additional recommendations included the following:

• Quantify contact required for disease transmission

• Modeling efforts with other diseases—human or otherwise—lessons learned about transmission

• Comprehensive risk assessment

• Opportunities to gather data/identification

• Need to build uncertainty into model

• Sensitivity analysis

• Includes ecology and disease

• Inventory of who is working on what and what arethey learning?

• Coordinated function

• Social science analysis and how to bring in thisaspect into risk assessment (decisions cannot be madeon biology alone)

• Outreach/delivery of risk assessment info (personaltouches) and models

• Build model to identify problems; build model onhow to minimize risk to make future decisions

• The future for ecological risk assessment:

• Includes disease transmission assessment

• Holistic/systems approach

• Gather info on factors to aid in future modeling

• Comparative analysis/studies (need adequate num-bers/sample size and populations depending on whatis being assessed)

• Be mindful on assumptions being made in modeling

Payette Principles

Dr. Jessup said that Working Group D also discussedthe principles which were an outcome of the sciencepanel convened by the Payette National Forest inNovember 2006 to review and discuss commentsreceived on the Payette RA. Dr. Jessup reviewed theeight principles, and suggested edits from WorkingGroup D, which he displayed onscreen and also pro-vided in handouts to all workshop participants duringthe presentation. Workshop participants were asked to

review the principles and to state whether they couldsupport them. One workshop participant noted thatthe principles were important to future efforts, andthose who had reservations should voice them.

While Working Group D and a number of other work-shop participants supported the eight principles, aworkshop participant expressed concern thatresearchers did not yet completely agree that contactwith domestic sheep increases the risk of disease ormortality in bighorn sheep. It was also noted thatwhile it might be prudent to keep bighorn sheep anddomestic sheep separated to reduce the risk of disease

transmission, this could be accomplished throughmanagement, and that separation may not need to bepermanent. Another participant said that he wasn’tfamiliar enough with the background related to theseprinciples to endorse them at this time and noted oth-ers might also feel that way. Hayman stated that theseprinciples would be brought forward for additional dis-cussion at the risk assessment workshop tentativelyscheduled for fall 2007.

Trophy hunting was cited today as a positive exam-ple of conservation of endangered species.

At the opening ceremonies of a 170-nation meetingin The Hague, the Secretary General of the Conventionon International Trade in Endangered Species of WildFlora and Fauna (CITES), Willem Wijnstekers, singledout trophy hunting as an example of an acceptable anddesirable wildlife activity, even with species that are onthe international endangered species list.

Speaking to more than 1,000 delegates from aroundthe world, Wijnstekers talked about the need toachieve the conservation of wildlife and plants by rec-ognizing responsible wildlife uses such as trophy hunt-ing when they are done on a sustainable basis, with thebenefits going into conservation. This is a far cry fromthe early days of CITES, when sport hunting was oftenunder attack as an unacceptable form of wildlifeexploitation.

CITES has come to realize that wildlife uses such astrophy hunting can also provide incentives and otherbenefits for the governments that are responsible forconserving wildlife, and for the livelihoods of the localpeople who live side by side with the wildlife.

Safari Club International was also specifically recog-nized for its contribution to a special blind trust fundthat CITES uses to assist delegates from developingcountries in traveling to the meeting. Thanks to thiskind of assistance, 67 developing countries were able to

bring a full two-person delegation to the meeting.CITES is a global treaty that regulates the interna-

tional shipment of wildlife and plants, including hunt-ing trophies. Its goal is to ensure that the trade doesnot endanger the wildlife. For more information, visitwww.cites.org.

In March of 2006 I was deciding upon how toapply for big game tags in my state of residence, Col-orado. My dilemma was that I had a trip booked forAugust of that year with Jim & Adrienne Fink, Black-stone Outfitters (www.blackstoneoutfitters.com) tohunt for a Fannin ram. For most of our big gamespecies it was a pretty easy decision to just apply forpreference points but when it came down to the sheepand goat draws, well – that took a lot of thoughtfulconsideration. A person only has so many years intheir lifetime that they can apply and the older a per-son gets the larger the question marks that followthoughts such as “will I ever draw” or “can I physicallydo this hunt.” At the end of my decision makingprocess, it was decided that I would apply for arguablythe most difficult permits to draw for both sheep andgoat. That way, if I drew there would be absolutely noquestion about simply doing whatever was necessary touse the tag drawn. So I applied for one of the two avail-able Rocky Mountain Bighorn ram permits in unit S-33, a unit which would re-open that fall for the firstbighorn hunt there in 15 years (the unit had beenclosed following a die-off). Additionally, I applied for alate/last season rifle Mountain Goat permit on MountEvans (unit G-4).

Thursday, May 4th found me in my Denver officebreaking in a new boss during the week. One of thefirst things he and I had discussed was my need to taketime off as necessary to go hunting. Fortunately, the“new guy” and I had known each other for a long timeprior to his coming to this new position. He’d alsoalready been forewarned of my dedication to hunting

and mountain hunting in particular by my formerboss. His position was “ya gotta do what ya gotta do.”The level of commitment to that position was about tobe put to the test…

After that Thursday’s business was wrapped up, Iwalked back into my office. Just before shutting downmy computer I decided to check to see if the drawresults for sheep and goat had been posted by the Col-orado Division of Wildlife on their website. Just then,lightening seemed to strike, and not just once, buttwice. Yep, that’s right… I had drawn BOTH the RockyMountain Bighorn Sheep and Rocky Mountain Goattags for 2006! I instantly became the “Double DrawDirty Dog” – that’s what my wife, Tammy, was callingme (among other things not printable in a family pub-lication!).

Prior to doing my application, I had talked to theoutfitter that I would use if I was drawn for the sheep tag.He was Jeff Chadd. Jeff was my guide for my first NorthAmerican ram, a Dall from the Alaska Mountain Rangesouth of Denali. Jeff now owns and operates MajesticMountain Lakeview Outfitters (www.mmlo.net). Myphone call to Jeff to tell him about the draw result startedout with: “are you sitting down?”

Memorial Day weekend was the first chance I hadto take a look at what the area was like. Oh boy. Thiswasn’t going to be easy. These are high altitude sheepthat hang out on the continental divide.

Labor Day weekend found Tammy and I dealingwith the holiday weekend traffic heading out of the

(Part 1)

Denver metropolitan area and into the mountains.Opening day for my Rocky Mountain Bighorn seasonwas the Tuesday following the holiday and I wanted toget there a few days before to ensure I was relaxed andready to go. We spent a couple of days in Gunnisonand then proceeded down to Lake City, the nearesttown to the hunting area.

Our arrival at Jeff & Cyndi Chadd’s place on LakeSan Cristobal was greeted with a big smile on Jeff’sface. He’d nearly bumped a large ram earlier in the dayand was comforted that they were in the same areawhere they had been found previously. We got to meetmy guide, Shane Black-well, and see the rest ofthe Chadd family as wesettled in.

We (Jeff, Shane,Tammy and I) left Jeff’splace at 4:30 a.m. andheaded up onto the conti-nental divide on openingmorning. Up and up andup we went. The dawnbroke with a beautifulclear mountain day likeonly those of us fortunateenough to have hunted inthe mountains can under-stand. The light of sunwas quite welcome and Inoticed that the rocksstopped grabbing at meand tripping me like theydid in the dark. Just atdawn we were greeted bya majestic six point bullelk staring at us like hewas wondering what theheck we were. Somebodyforgot to tell that bullthat he was an elk andnot a sheep. He was at13,000’.

About four miles infrom where we left theJeep, Shane spotted sheepfirst. As they always do, tome at least, those rams looked magnificent. A couple ofthem stood out and Shane and Jeff spoke in hushedtones to each other about the relative merits of thetwo. They liked a particular ram that had horns longerthan the other one. I told them I agreed that thelonger one was nice, but the mass of the other one wassomething else. We were 400+ yards out and Jeff want-ed to get me closer. That was fine with me and thesheep were simply feeding to the west and not in anyparticular hurry. When the ram I liked turned directly

away from us, Jeff and Shane both agreed that he faroutclassed the other one under consideration as helooked like he had a couple of tires coming out of his head fromthis view.

The sheep were working their way around thelower part of the mountain we were on and we twolegged types went around and on top following theridge line and staying out of sight. The rams finallystarted heading in a loose single file line around thebase of a shear rock wall. Jeff, Shane and I hustledahead and found a chute we could climb down (you

know, the narrow kindwhere you hang out inthin air using both handsand both feet againstopposing walls to climbdown – oh joy).

250 yards. Broadside.Sheep don’t know we’rehere. This is no sweat.Until a massive mule deerbuck decides to pogo stickup from the valley floor,along with his harem ofdoes, to where the sheepare. Sheep being the skit-tish sorts they are decidedthey’d better hustle forthe ridgeline and the nextbasin. So much for theeasy shot. 400 yards nowand the ram I want finallyis clear of all the others.Smoothly, steadily, boom.Shane goes nuts as theshot hits home. I didn’twant any trouble with awounded ram, so I hithim again and then keptthe scope on him until hedidn’t so much as twitchagain.

After the ram wasdown I admonished Jefffor taking me into someof the most ridiculously

dangerous places (but I think the words I used were alittle more “colorful” than that). He’d done the samething to me twenty years before in Alaska! After highfives all around we climbed back up out of the rockchute. My idea of simply finding a way down the facewas met with laughter by Shane and Jeff (I later agreedwhen I looked up at what/where I was shooting from).Tammy was at the top waiting for us (she exhibits bet-ter judgment in following crazy sheep guides and out-fitters I guess). A look down at my altimeter showed


that we were above 13,500’ and had a lot of workahead of us, not to mention miles.

We learned what spooked the big muley buckwhen the other ram tag holder for this unit, and hisfather, came climbing up past us from the bottom ofthe valley. We hadn’t known that anyone else was any-where nearby, and neither did they.

We were able to get lots of photos with the weatherand lighting being fantastic. After all the skinning andboning was done, we all worked out way down off themountain to the Colorado Trail. We decided that itwould be longer, but hopefully easier walking than theway we’d come in.

The ram’s horns shrunk badly in the 60 day dryingperiod, loosing on the order of an inch in base mea-surements. But still with all of that shrinkage, his baseswere 16” x 16 1/8” with 1st quarters both at 15 3/8”and 2nd quarters both at 13 6/8”. He totaled 175 2/8gross official dry score. He’s now lifesize mounted andproudly stands in our living room where I get to get toenjoy the memories every time I walk past.

Thanks so much to Jeff and Cyndi Chadd and ShaneBlackwell. It was an absolutely incredible adventure andjoy to experience and share this hunt with them.

KYLE M. MEINTZER - Hillsborough, CAWhen I founded your chapter of FNAWS, I had a vision of what was possible inputting sheep on the mountain. Thanks to the tremendous commitment of many, CAFNAWS has built the framework needed to realize that vision. Thanks to the support ofour members, we are indeed achieving our objectives. CA FNAWS has grown from“just a dream,” to the point of being recognized as the rising star of the FNAWS chap-ters. Our potential is tremendous. California is not only the wealthiest state in thecountry, but it leads the nation in creativity and entrepreneurship as well. Just imaginewhat’s possible! If re-elected, I will strive to take CA FNAWS to the next level of suc-cess. To put more sheep on the mountain, we need to be the leading wildlife organiza-tion in the state. We need to raise more money to fund more projects. We need tomanage those projects so that we not only put sheep on the mountain, but so that wekeep them there! I would appreciate your vote.

Our 5th Annual event on May 5, 2007 was a successand lots of fun for participants. It wasn’t perfect; wetried some things that worked great and some othersthat bombed! We’ll do more of the things that workedgreat; not do the things that bombed; and try somemore new things for 2008. Mark your calendars forMay 3, 2008!

We hope you enjoy the pictures we are including – andfurther hope that if you were there you will be able tofind yourself in at least one; or if you weren’t there,that seeing the pictures will cause you to commit notto miss future events!

The biggest news was that between our Sheep HuntRaffle, our auctions and our other raffles we nettedover $280K for Wildlife & Wild Sheep Conservationand over $100K for CA FNAWS project use (the differ-ence are the special hunting permits, for which themoneys are designated but managed by the Fish &Game Associations in the states involved).

A highlight was helping Dr. Vern Bleich celebrate hisbirthday and his retirement! CA FNAWS and SCBS alsopresented him with a useful, beautiful and Wild Sheepcommemorative custom tooled leather day planner.Thanks to creative Jeff Passanante for organizing thatfor both organizations.

We were honored to have several special guests includ-ing Neil Thagard, FNAWS Director of Development;Larry Hunts, FNAWS Director; Corey Cogdell – USOlympic Shooting Team member; Pamela Atwood’snew puppy; and the largest collection of Triple, World,Super and Grand Slammers outside the FNAWS, SCI &GSCO Conventions.

Our Seminars were first rate – Brenton Brenton Scottdid 2 - “Goats of the World” and “Sheep of theWorld.” Vern Bleich covered “Mountain Sheep in Cali-fornia: Perspectives on the Past, and Prospects for theFuture.”

Exhibitors were in the banquet hall this year and thatadded to the ambiance and was good for business.

Special thanks go to the Fundraiser Committee whoworked over the year to make this a success:

• Tammy Scott – Facilities and Seminars

• Jim Fitzgerald – Hunts, Tags, Trips and Live Auction

• Matt Burke – Merchandise, Silent Auction & Raffles

• Kyle Meintzer – Underwriting & Sponsorships

• Beverly Valdez – Banking, Admin, etc., etc., etc., etc., …

• Mike Borel – Fundraiser Chair

In addition – Renee Snider worked with the Hotel andTammy to assure Facilities management. The entireBoard of Directors participated in Setup and Disman-tling. Debi Casey and Charlene Winkler managed theYouth 3/4 Curl elements. Several spouses were key con-tributors – most notably – Pam Burke, Melissa Brisso,Mary McCosker, and Susie Hollister. Chip and SusieHollister took pictures all day and are responsible forthe shots you see in this newsletter. Steve Boitanomanaged the banking pre check in and sold a LOT ofSheep Raffle Tickets. Jennifer and Dianna sold moreraffle tickets than ever for us. Kevin O’Callahan, thesinging auctioneer, was back for us and did a super job.Many, many more pitched in as needed to make theevent a success. Thanks to each and every one of you.

Volunteers for our 2008 Committee are needed – pleaselet me know your interest. All our meetings are confer-ence call or virtual and it makes a huge difference forour chapter!

These ibex were originally a gift from the Shah ofIran!

It was a great hunt. Dennis Kauffman of KauffmanOutfitters and his wife Mary were my guides. The ibexhave definitely taken hold in this mountain range andit was a great hunt. I saw ibex every day, but gettingon a big one proved a big challenge. We did lot's ofglassing and climbing, and oftentimes heard the honkof a nanny sentry who made us and sent the herd tothe next county (just out of sight or smell was not suf-ficient for these goats!). I passed on lesser animals andon the last day I had, we collected this one. We got to270 yards and they made us. I got a quick shot in at

300 yards moving out in 30 mph winds and put himdown. It took a finisher; but as Jesus Yuren would say,he got a one way ticket to my home! I can definitelyrecommend Dennis and Mary Kauffman. They knowthe mountains and the game. Both are superb glassersand Dennis knows the likely movements of the game.We shared lots of laughs and enjoyed a great hunt. Ifyou don't apply for this one, you are missing an oppor-tunity!

Mine scored 114 4/8 with 49 3/8 on the longestside. It will be in the top 5 of the SCI Book.

The meat is tough, but flavorful.
