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.
Dr. Ralph Maughan is professor emeritus of political science at Idaho State University. He was a Western Watersheds Project Board Member off and on for many years, and was also its President for several years. For a long time he produced Ralph Maughan’s Wolf Report. He was a founder of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition. He and Jackie Johnson Maughan wrote three editions of “Hiking Idaho.” He also wrote “Beyond the Tetons” and “Backpacking Wyoming’s Teton and Washakie Wilderness.” He created and is the administrator of The Wildlife News.

++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.
