I watched some of a hunting show. They were going to put radio collars on some Barbary Sheep.
They said in the 1800s and later Private Ranchers and others brought those sheep in from Africa to hunt to to sell hunts for. That is irony for at the same time thy killed off all the Buffalo and Bears and pretty much everything else,as to exterminate them.
It was reported there was now over 10,000 of these Barbary sheep, I think I got that right, and they have decimated the ecology. The native Big Horn sheep couldn't compete and are pretty much all extirpated from west Texas. Most of Texas is private property and they still sell hunts for exotic game, including these Barbary Sheep. Why doesn't Texas declare them as pests and conduct hunts to eliminate them? It would be a really big job looking at the terrain in the show.
Second ,Americans all, need to push our Elected Officials to restore our Native Game, not allow its destruction!
On edit: I forgot to mention the burros are south of I40 all the way south of Prescott, and on towards Phoenix, and eat toward the road just west of Williams on south and over toward the Tonto National Forest. And It think they are south of Phoenix, now but I may be wrong. And of course they are south of Lake Havasu, and into California.
