Martina and Olsen hope to dear about 4,000 acres on the ridge northeast of the Green River, over the next 10 yearn, burning about 400 to 600 acres a year. Olsen said the Division will continue sheep transplants in the area but he wont predict how soon State officials, might consider a sheep hunt. The main goal now is to get a herd established." Utahns can hunt desert bighorns but not Rocky Mountain sheep. This year the State offered 13 resident and one ' , . Wyoming. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) started transplanting sheep into the area near Bear Mountain in 1982, said DWR northeast regional game biologist Dave Olsen. Tbe herd was up to about 66 before lambing season, : said Steve Martinas, Forest Service wildlife biologist. Sheep, last seen in the 1960s,1 are native to the area and it could support a population again, Olsen said. 'But the habitat needs a little work. Which is where Martinez comes in. The sheep am on Flaming Forge National Recreation Area land administered by his employer, the Ashley National Forest. ' In wildlife management, the State division manages the nhnala while the Forest Service is responsible for the habitat. To make way for the sheep, Martinei arranged to bum three forest areas of land. Lit from a helicopter, crown (tree top) fires auper-ho- t raced acroea the ridgetops one day last month, burned the trees and were contained by pinyon-junip- non-reside- nt desert bighorn permits for area in southern Utah. Rocky Mountain sheep native to Utah but died .out, probably from diseases transmitted by domestic sheep, Olsen said. . Transplant efforts x since the r"""inrmTTTTrmTirni 1960s have herds established on ML Nebo near Provo, in the Deep Creek Mountains on the Nevada-Uta- h border, at Dinosaur National 'Park, north of Flaming Gorge on the Green River and on the Bear Mountain site. One key to getting the animals back on their range is improving the habitat, Olsen said. Most traditional range is not the shape that it was before. Although the Forest Service, like other, land agencies, is to provide wildlife supposed habitat, its hard to convince . - ' administrative Martinez said. With the budget crunch were constantly under pressure, to show benefits, in terms of numbers animals produced, he budget-maker- - said. If they cant show benefits, he cant get dollars. But effects of habitat said. Martinez sees the sheep pro- gram as an opportunity to get public and political support needed to fond mare wildlife habitat improvement work. The sheep program is the cornerstone of our wildlife program, he said. If we had our full pipe dream, wed see them reestablished along the top of the Uinta Mountains, Olsoi added. Hell be pleased if are can just establish a viable population along the Green River corridor. Classified Deadlines Friday i VOUH CHOICE ' AJV ri. . I: CUmSirtalMiSWl IS Spur.
