Montana bighorn just keep dying of pneumonia

Twenty-one more dead bighorn-

Pneumonia persists in Anaconda bighorns. Montana Standard.

Seems to me like Western Watersheds Project is about the only private organization doing anything to stop the spread of this disease that is taking such an awful toll.

    ++Vinkey said that 1,200 hunters drew coveted licenses to hunt bighorn rams in Hunting District 213 this fall, and their hunt will continue.++

    The regulations say 8 rams permits and 20 ewe permits were to be offered in the draw. There were probably 1200 applicants.
