Because Dall Sheep are such friendly critters that they come right up to a human with a pack goat?  Seems like if that was the case it would be a hell of a lot easier to hunt them.  Yet they are challenging and elusive.  I protect my herd from exposure to ALL animals whether they are wild or domestic because I care about the health of my herd.  The fact is you can't compare us to the Lower 48 because we don't free range our animals on public land like they do in the Lower 48.  AND this is regulation for private land.  Guess what?  I FENCE my animals in.  Do they ever escape?  Of course there are rare circumstances where they may escape, but they certainly don't boogie out towards Dall Sheep habitat, in face they rarely leave their own property because it is "Home" and most domestics are afraid to get far from what they know.  Just like the Dall Sheep who rarely range out of a certain area.  If I had Dall Sheep habitat in my back yard, I would certainly double fence to protect all.
