STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA LIMITED - MORE ABOUT BIG HORN SHEEP (continued from page 3) The designer of the corral had al- lowed for a narrow ‘V’ shaped chute, formed’ by running a separate line of fence about 20 feet along the outside perimeter. Stretching out from this was another wing of snow fence to steer the animals into the chute. The problem was resolved when those near the chute were precipi- tated into action by the appearance of a four-year-old ewe that had wandered away from’ the main band at the top end of the corral, and frightened by men taking pictures from the hogsback, practically ran into the chute on her own. Henry and Murray clambered up the'fence with lariats in hand and lassooed the animal as it tried to butt its way through the fence. From then on the problem of get- ting the Sheep in the chute became increasingly difficult. While those who would actually throw und hola the animals in the chute crouched nearby, a line of men would streteh up the hogsback and one would go right to the top to herd the sheep down the fence line. As they ran along the fence, the men on the hill would gradually close in, cutting olf their escape. SENT SCATTERING In theory this sounded fine, but in actual practice the herders would oten be sent scattering as severai animals would choose the hogsback as an escape route. The men at the chute soon discarded the ropes and Just dropped on the animals from the fence top, a practice that was Early Staffordshive-wate Pipe from England Created in the past... for your pleasurettoday.

This odveriisement is not published or disployed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Goverment of British Columbia effectual but created a scene of utier confusion when as many as three sheep and four men would be strug- gling in the narrow confines of the ye Comie aspect of the proceedings was provided early in the round-up when three men were having trouble subduing a struggling ewe. Finally exasperated, Cece Henry yelled for everybody to stand back, and mutter- ing that he had “thrown bigger ealves than this,” the big rancher lifted the animal and packed it off to the truck. ’ RAM CAUGHT ALONE ture of the big ram, well over two hundred pounds of power. Only once had he been herded down the fence leading to the chute and then he had broken off¢half way down and come charging across the hogsback like an express train, S It was finally decided to go after an@ Bob Mace started up the hill on foot. Murray reached the top first and was short with his throw as the ram came charging past. Down the hill he thundered past tall, rangy Mace, who threw his loop and then dug in behind a juniper bush as be felt the weight of the tumbling ram. Taylor and Henry dropped on the big fellow and the fight was just about over. Putting their two ropes around the ram's horns, the men ‘walked’ the animal down the hill, with the , Yam alternately rearing up and dig- ing into the ground in an effort to es- cape the loops. Three of the 28 animals failed to survive the round-up. Two of the ewes died of shock and one struck the fence and broke its neck. (It took two hours and forty minutes to capture the 25 animals and put them in the double-tiered truck rack.) Once inside the truck the animals quietened down immediately, and according to a wire received Monday by Mr. Sugden, they successfully weathered the 1000-mile trip to Hart Mountain, OTHERS WANTED IN Unusual aspect td the Neer Park capture was the presence of sheep on the outside of the fence. Some of the aimals came right up to the fence and others could he seen a short dis- tance up the mountain throughout the day. The day before, some sheep | Were-observed butting at the fence in ‘an effort to get inside. That is the first part of the story of this experiment in transplanting the California big horn.

For one thing our own game de- partment now owns the Deer Park trap, and there is a possibility that sheep may be taken trom the band at intervals of two years or more, depending on the recommendations of the biologists, and moved to other ranges in the province. In years to come these colorful animals may once more be seen on the slopes of the Thompson River mountains or along the Nicola valley, to name two places where they once abounded. There is the possibility that Brit- ish Columbia may be given sage grouse from Oregon, which would be ‘planted’ in the south Okanagan. But the main satisfaction to Brit- ish Columbia sportsmen is the tact that, through our game department, we are taking a positive step in try- ing to increase the population of a species of big game animal that-is at best. standing still at its present alarmingly low figure, and is con- tinually of extinction through ravages of local climatical in danger conditions or from localized disease.
