Sheep Hunters
Start Climbing the
Hills Next Wednesday
The dawn of Wednesday morn
ing, August 20, will find many
local sportsmen clambering up
steep and rocky mountain slopes
in quest of the favorite of trophy
animals, the Dali mountain sheep.
Each hunter must have a per
mit from the Fish and Wildlife
Service, and, successful or not,
he must make a report. The suc
cessful must give information re
gaining the size of the animal and
where it was taken. This data
on the kill is helpful to FWS con
servationists in estimating sheep
population in any given area and
is the basis for future regulations
aimed at survival of the fleet
footed animals.
No permits are being issued this
year for hunting in that portion
of the Chugach Range draining
into Knik and Turnagain Arms
between and including Eagle
River and Twenty-Mile River. As
in past years, the hunter is limited
:o one mature ram with three
fourths curl of horn or larger.
FWS announced early this
week that 253 permits to hunt
sheep had been issued so far. Ap
plications for permits are being
accepted until the first day of the
season, August 20. The season
lasts through August 31.
