Info has been sent out for all returning and new counters. This year the dates are Friday July 4th to Sunday the 6th. For those who have to travel a long (or hard distance) they will head out Thursday afternoon.
There will be a mandatory meeting June 14th for all first timers. Experienced people are welcome too.
Backpackers are especially need for the hard to reach water sources. Darren Sefcik can add something to that subject.
There are 18 counting sites but not all are staffed due to shortages of volunteers. They have a policy to have at least 2 people per location, which are located near water.

Just FYI, I have already posted the application form in the Events forum:
http://www.anzaborrego.net/anzaborrego/forum/topic794--bighorn-sheep-count-now-accepting-application.aspx
DesertWrx, probably better not to put ranger Steve's email on a public forum, he will be flooded with spam...better to edit the post and remove his email and use the application form instead.

The first year I counted at Hellhole, we saw 16 sheep in 3 days, that was tough for sure. At Rattlesnake you see sheep all day, every day. I have had some mornings where they walk thru our camp area on the way to the spring, it is hard to get bored at Rattlesnake.

We went out to 2nd crossing last summer after seeing some sheep there the day before when we had our dog with us. We got out there very early and stayed a few hours...not 1 sheep! That would be my luck! I have an anti-sheep magnet I think!
