You’ll love this; we may not take a lion without a depredation permit unless it is in the process of taking stock. I lost the ewe on a Friday evening and called Fish and Game. They refused to send an officer and said that permits were now issued through a wild life biologist who would not be in until Monday. I contacted the fed trapper so to have someone to verify the kill. We wait until Monday morning and are denied the permit because we waited too long and might get an animal other than the perp.
Beautiful, eh? And people want to give the government more authority.
Those are some ugly regulations. Which state? I’m in CO and plan to read the latest wildlife regs on predation as soon as possible.
Hope this brings a smile, although you already know how sheep and goats tend to behave.
Sheep Protest!
