    Ralph – there was a more in depth artilcle on the front page of the Chronicle this morning – covered more of the livestock side of this plan.

  2. Thanks, so I just checked and the on-line version is the same short AP story.

  3. Talks with Bears says:

    And I checked MT FWP and nothing there.

  4. Ken Cole says:

    I linked to the plan in the post.

    Here’s the Chronicle URL: http://bozemandailychronicle.com/articles/2010/01/18/news/100sheep.txt.

    The plan does give effective veto authority to ranchers over bighorn reintroductions.

    Well, here’s another opportunity for Western Watersheds Project to shine.

Quote

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
