Good read. Man, I've seen so many of those sheep while out hiking those areas.

Wow and I didn't know the protection reaches back to 1873!

The hunters were fined $500?! Not much of a deterent. More like the cost of doing business, especially since the article stated that a common thread among them was 'ready cash'. I accept hunting as a sport, but illegal is illegal. How much money did we pay in taxes for this investigation?! Friggin wasteful all the way around.

Well, $500 was about $90,000 back in 1971 right?
