Fuller says the change is

such signs more consistent

This latest illegal bighorn
killing was the third in the
area this spring.
“This bighorn case has
riled up hunters across the

Chapters of the Ore-

resources to increase the
reward to up to $8,300 for
information leading to who-

out of season in early April
off Interstate 84 .
The previous reward con-
sisted of a standard $500

bring bighorns back, and
sportsmen shepherd this fl ock
