I would like to start off by saying thank you to allof our members, their friends and family thatmade our sold out 2015 banquet such a success. Iwill admit that I was more excited about thisbanquet than most, in large part because of ourDesert Bighorn Sheep give away. Since we startedthe sheep hunt give-away program, we havesigned up nearly 200 new life members. We haveno intention of slowing down and have a sheephunt give away planned for our 2016 banquet. Soif you are not a life member, the sooner you geton the boat, the more opportunity you will have.The success of our program has certainly notgone unnoticed. Idaho WSF, and Wyoming WSFstarted their own programs this year and I haveheard rumors that National WSF will be followingsuite at the Life Member Breakfast at the 2016convention in Reno.

Often times the business of wild sheepconservation can seem incredibly dark anddaunting. It seems that every time you turnaround there is another infected herd of bighorns somewhere in thewest. It is hard for lay folks like me to get excited by a seeminglysmall discovery that comes from a lab in Pullman or South Dakota,but I absolutely believe that the true recovery of Wild Sheep willcome from a test tube. Until then, it is our job to mitigate andcontrol circumstances to the best of our abilities. This is of course,more often than not, is a frustrating process fraught with political pitfalls. There are however success stories and we have had a few ofthem recently that you should know about:

This past winter WDFW authorized and implemented a predatorcontrol program in which specific predators can be removed if it isdocumented that they are a threat to herd populations. While notlimited to any specific species of predator, it may be especially usefulin dealing with cougars. Studies show that cougars often learn tospecialize in praying on a specific type of animal. In the case of wildsheep, we have many herds that simply cannot sustain that kind ofpressure.

For years, the Tucannon herd has been struggling. Poor lambrecruitment has been observed year after year. The cause of this hasbeen hard for biologists to pin down. One theory is the lack ofbiodiversity. Two Oregon rams were supplemented into theTucannon herd last winter (post rut). WDFW biologists andmanagers have been looking high and low for a source of "clean"(have not been exposed to *MOVI) sheep to further supplement thisherd to no avail. Just when it appeared that the project was going tohave to go on the back burner, a massive leap forward occurred lastFriday (6/12/15) at the Hell's Canyon Initiative meeting in LewistonID. A likely source of perhaps ten sheep from Oregon's Look OutMountain heard was arranged. In a day in age in which it isincreasingly hard to find sheep that are "clean" and are available fortransplant, this is huge! We are hopeful that the transplant will occurthis winter and have made it known that WA WSF is willing to helpout with the cost of translocation.

WA WSF has been asked to be "on deck" in assisting with a projectthat has been identifying and contacting small herd owners ofdomestic sheep and goats that are within the danger zone of cominginto contact with wild sheep. This project has already paid dividendsin establishing where to focus efforts. One owner already voluntarilygot rid of their domestic animals and another submitted to testingand the animals that they currently own are disease free. Optionsare being discussed with other owners right now. I can't overemphasize the importance of this project. It is very possible that thedemise of the Tieton herd was a result of contact with a small flock.There is one last bit of good news; I will stop short of adding this tothe success column but it none the less quite exciting. An area of thePasayten Wilderness has been identified as a potential site of acompletely new herd of sheep. The area contains suitable habitat, itis all publicly owned wilderness property and there are no issues withdomestic sheep and goats. Stay tuned.

I hope you have fared well in the draws. I look forward to hearingyour hunting stories that are yet to be written. Have a great summerand fall.

Let's put some sheep on the mountain,Andy Kelso

*MOVI: Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae. Common bacteria in domesticsheep and goats, that, as the species name suggests, predisposes 'sheep'(Ovi.) to pneumonia, and in some cases, is evidently capable of causingpneumonia by itself. In domestic sheep and goats, it causes only minorsymptoms, often not even detectable to the owner/herder. In bighornsheep and goats, it paralyzes the cilia that line the respiratory tract andhelp the animal protect itself from pathogens, thus predisposing theanimal to infection from other bacteria species. Although questionsremain to be answered, most biologists now believe M. ovi is the singlemost important organism related to bighorn pneumonia.(source: Richard Harris, special species wildlife manager for WDFW)

Thank Youto Our Texas Desert Sheep Hunt DonorsWithout question the life member giveaway of a sheep hunt at our banquet has added a new degree of excitement to our event. Mostimportantly, however, are those folks that donate (even though it’s not required) to help us offset the expense of securing the hunt. Thecontinuation of this life member door prize is dependent upon these generous donations. We’d like to recognize the top donors as well asthose that are in the “Top 10” in amounts given in 2015.

The highlight of the 2015 Washington Wild Sheep Foundation banquet was the life member Texas Desert bighorn hunt drawing.We'd like to thank Corey Knowlton and his crew for helping us make this amazing hunt happen for one of our life members!Within a couple weeks of the banquet, this old Texas warrior was harvested by Doug Sayer on the first day of hunting.

Congrats, Doug, Corey and the rest of the crew!

As all “once in a lifetime” stories begin I was absolutely floored whenI found out that I had been drawn for a Shiras Moose permit inWashington State!! The preparation and late nights of studyingmoose photo’s and information online began. Studying maps,sighting in the rifle, making phone calls, dreaming about moose, andof course attaining land access to the moose area consumed themonths leading up to the hunt. With a once in a lifetime hunt there isan excitement that is mixed with pressure, and a rewarding feelingthat applying for many years has paid off ! I didn’t have the luxury oftaking a lot of time off of work to hunt, so I knew that I needed toput in quality time during the days I could get out. Openingmorning came, the trailer was loaded with the quads, and enoughgear was packed for a small army… finally we were going moosehunting.

Our game plan for the early part of the season was to glass clear cutsand call, trying to take advantage of the oncoming rut. The first cutwe came to we immediately heard a bull grunting. Here it was, mytime to put to use the call I had been trying to perfect; and let it beknown, my wife was very happy to be having me call in the woodsand not in the house anymore! In the span of ten short minutes frommy first call I had a bull within twenty yards! He was head swinging,grunting, and looking for love. It was a good bull, but this was withinthe first hour of the hunt so I just stood in awe and studied him.They are truly a beautiful animal. We let him meander off and thesearch continued. The first week we saw a handful of bulls, but notwhat I was looking for yet. Spotting bulls in the open was difficultdue to the warm weather the first part of the hunt. It was warm inthe afternoons and the animals were bedded in the thick areas formost of the day. My dad had to work the next two weekends, so Ipatiently waited until he had time off, to accompany me. A lot ofpeople may think I am crazy, but I told several people that werewondering why I was not hunting every opportunity that I could, “Iwould rather shoot a smaller bull with my dad, than a huge bullwithout him being by my side”. So, I stuck to that and chasedsteelhead until we could head over and hunt the later part of theseason.

Being later in the season the excitement was high nowthat the leaves were falling off of the trees. Visibilityincreased dramatically. We were immediately seeingmore game including deer and turkeys. This hunt canbe a very dynamic hunt from driving logging roads,riding quads, hiking, spotting/stalking, and even still-hunting with some calling. We used all of the aboveand had a blast! When I decided on the bull that Iwanted to take it was meant to be. As the saying goes;”when you know, you know”, and I knew this was ”my”bull when I first laid eyes on him. I started the journeywanting to harvest a mature representative of thespecies, and I feel that I did just that. After the tag wasnotched, the photos were taken, and hugs were given,the work started. And I mean work! They are a hugeanimal! I am very fortunate to have had thisopportunity to learn about moose and spend time inthe outdoors with my dad. I want to thank my parentsfor instilling in me a passion and respect for the

outdoors, conservation, and the animals we hunt. I would also like tothank all the information and help received by fellow sportsman forthis hunt.

The annual Tri-State gathering took place June 12-14, 2015. Friday was comprised ofmeetings and information regarding the current status, outlook, and future or wildsheep in the area. Saturday consisted of a fun filled day for chapter members, boardmembers, and sportsman alike. The day started with a scenic jet boat ride up Hell’sCanyon. The boat ride provided an opportunity for sheep viewing. Many sheep werespotted, located, and counted with the assistance of using telemetry from a localbiologist. The day was topped off with an evening consisting of a fantastic bbq, a silentauction, and friendly conversation about wild sheep.

Biologists from WDFW as well as many volunteers, including several from the Washington Wild Sheep Foundation spent over three weeks inMay on a project with the Tucannon bighorn sheep herd. Three lambs were captured and collared successfully and two others were missed.The purpose of the capture was to determine the cause of the abnormally high lamb mortality that is occurring soon after birth. Pneumoniais not believed to be the source of the mortality due to the lack of positive tests by captured adults as well as the fact that the lambs disappearsoon after being born. Thanks to all those that assisted with this project.

This past weekend WA WSF vice president Bryan Baileyand past WS WSF president Glen Landrus attended the8th annual Wild Sheep Summit held this year inKelowna, BC and hosted by the Wild Sheep Society ofBritish Columbia. Below is a recap of what wasdiscussed over several days of meetings, most of it isfactual and in other places I have added my takeawayfrom what was presented.

Joint Membership: WSF is offering a jointmembership program. New chapters in Yukon, Alaskaplus the Eastern chapter will be participating. For annualdues of $55 a person would get a membership withnational WSF and with a local state--$40 of the dueswould go to WSF and $15 to the local state. Allmembership paperwork/billing/renewal would behandled out of the national office with a check andcontact info for each person being forwarded to thedesignated state.

Headquarters Moving: After an extensive studyconsidering current facility conditions, costs torebuild/remodel, the Wild Sheep Foundation presentedto the summit last year that if the they were to move itwould be to Bozeman, MT. The WSF board voted thisApril that they would indeed be moving. Most of thestaff will be joining them although there will be one ortwo that stay on in Cody, WY during a transition period.WSF will be leasing a facility in Bozeman.

Legislative Update: The lobbyist for WSF presentedthe current status and future goals for lobbying in

Washington DC on bills primarily related to domesticsheep/goat grazing in the west. Since the PayetteDecision about 5 years ago, budget riders, etc have beenused to limit the reach of the domestic impact at theexpense of wild sheep. Some information was sharedabout a BC conservation project called WildSheep/Friendly Lamb. This would be alabeling/marketing plan for lamb in restaurants andstores that is labeled basically wild sheep friendly. This isa very interesting concept that could bring some attentionto the general public.

WSU Research: Dr. Sri's retirement from WSU(Rocky Crate endowed chair) has been extended until theend of this calendar year. Dr. Tom Besser (who is the onebehind all of the Mycoplasma Ovipneumonia --MOviresearch) has been hired as his replacement.

Thinhorn Initiative: WSF has been involved withthe Thinhorn Initiative along with many other playersthe last year or so. Objectives and action plans werecovered thoroughly with the group. Once this project isup and going, WSF will sponsor a bighorn initiative thatwill provide a concise course for future managementgoals, etc.

Banquet Best Practices: Lots of interest in our(Washington WSF's) life member drawing and its success.As many of you know, Idaho and Wyoming WSF did itthis spring as well. Eastern WSF will be doing it at theirnext banquet. National WSF will be doing a life memberdrawing for a Dall hunt at the life member breakfast inReno in January. There was also considerable interest inour "I Put One on the Mountain" and how it worked and

10

Page 11: Washington Wild Sheep Foundation

how our $5000 card raffles work, the timing and our goalwith it. The "Washington" model was lauded for beinginnovative and for practices that inspire giving andmotivate stagnant banquet settings.

Other Summit Information: Meetings were heldfor 4 hours each morning followed by an afternoon fieldtrip. As started the year we hosted the summit, a silentand live auction was held with the host chapter gettingthe funding for a specific project. Over the three days,right at $20,000 was raised that the BC chapter will usefor domestic sheep/goat conflicts. This was the largestattended Summit with two outfitter association repsthere, several other BC conservation groups, all of thestate chapters, as well as the RM Goat alliance.

Future Summits: It is important that the Washingtonchapter have representation at the Summit each year.The networking and communication that develops is

hard to duplicate. Next year the Iowa chapter will behosting but the summit will be located at Fort Robinsonin Nebraska which is near wild sheep. Attendees willneed to fly into Rapid City, SD and then travel severalhours south to the lodge. The setting will be a little more"state park-ish" but with cabins and rooms available. TheIowa folks have reserved the entire park for the weekendbut they are anticipating it being filled up by the Summitattendees. They did not mention the date specificallyother than they "think it's the weekend after Father'sDay" which would make it June 23-26. The 2017Summit will be hosted by Montana and the 2018 possiblyin Alaska.

Past WAWSF president Glen Landrus traveled to Zimbabwe in November of2014. What was scheduled originally as a videography trip of a client's safarievolved into Glen hunting for himself. Here are some of the fine trophies.

Roy Reese was able to travel to Florida in May and caught aGrand Slam including this 35lb+ permit, 140 tarpon and 6

pound bone fish. He fished with his good friend Todd Starrwhere they got a double Grand Slam in one day fishing out of

the lower Florida Keys.
