Description

In response to stakeholder concerns of a decline in the quality and quantity of trophy rams available in some areas, SRD has completed an assessment of 35 years of trophy sheep registration and aerial survey data for bighorn sheep. The assessment indicates the harvest levels need to be adjusted to bring them into line with the management guidelines in the Management Plan for Bighorn Sheep in Alberta 1992. There are no immediate regulation changes planned, but we clearly need to work with provincial hunters and the outfitter/guides to achieve a better balance with our objectives.
