[QUOTE="ndlongshot, post: 224444, member: 244"] Same issue applies in those areas. You going to go create new badlands habitat somewhere? The highway splits habitat on both sides and animals have already developed natural pinch points for crossings in those areas. Thats why we see the increased collisions in those areas. Mucho $$$ has went into big horn sheep in that area and many of them get killed crossing 85. Should we just accept it? This is rainbows and butterflies "wishing". These crossings work. But if you dont think its worth the costs thats fine. I never said it was cheap. Under your assumption the money would be used for habitat? The reality is that wont happen either. Its either do something. Or do nothing. DOT/FHA won't be doing big horn sheep projects anytime soon and good luck having them give 7 million to NDGF to build habitat. Still wouldnt fix the problem being discussed if they did! I'm sure Brett Wiedmann loves completing a transplant relocation, helicopter captures for radio collars, and pneumonia surveillance (another discussion for another day) just to have them smacked by a tanker on 85.
