For more than 30 years the Wild Sheep Foundation has been engaged in federal land policy issues that promote restoration of wild sheep and to their native habitats.

The most important piece of policy that could ensure the future existence of wild sheep on federally managed lands is being considered in Idaho. The U.S. Forest Service, through the Payette National Forest Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS), is considering reducing domestic sheep grazing in wild sheep habitats – to further enhance the recovery of wild sheep. However, new policy will not be decided until the public comment period has ended, which is set for March 3rd, 2009.

The bighorn ram trotted up the trail overlooking Granite Rapids in Hells Canyon about 20 yards away as I was scouting the rapids.

It took my breath away. Seeing bighorn sheep is an experience you never forget. Watching that ram cross the trail and then run up the hill is burned in my memory, even though it was more than a decade ago.

His eyes gave me a stealthy stare. He carried a majestic set of horns, and you could see the muscles in his legs as he easily traversed the steep hillside.

The future of Hells Canyon’s bighorn sheep is in your hands.

The Payette National Forest has extended until March 3 the comment period on a bighorn sheep draft environmental impact statement.

That’s good because more people need to know about the plight of bighorn sheep.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Lyle Laverty today announced that the Department of the Interior has finalized updated regulations governing the possession of firearms in national parks and wildlife refuges. The final rule, which updates existing regulations, would allow an individual to carry a concealed weapon in national parks and wildlife refuges if, and only if, the individual is authorized to carry a concealed weapon under state law in the state in which the national park or refuge is located. The update has been submitted to the Federal Register for publication and is available to the public on www.doi.gov.

Existing regulations regarding the carrying of firearms remain otherwise unchanged, particularly limitations on poaching and target practice and prohibitions on carrying firearms in federal buildings.
