Project Status Update: February 3 – February 16, 2014 – Some notes from this update:

• “The Arizona Game and Fish Department is implementing an Advisory Committee recommendation to collapse the previous administrative mountain lion removal boundary and re-focus removal efforts to a more defined area.” – A map in the update shows the new area which is (very roughly) west of the highway and south of Charouleau Gap. Also covered here: New Bighorn boundaries set in the Catalinas.
• “In recent weeks, several solitary sheep have banded together in larger groups.” – The update notes that research has indicated that sheep are safer in larger groups.
• “Biologists anticipate that several more ewes will become mothers in the near future.” – There have been 3 lambs reported so far
