2 Dream Tags Charitable Fund Page 2 Narrative - Monte Cristo Guzzler Big Game Water Development Project 1. Project Goals and Measurable Outcomes: Jason SaLsbury, Nevada Department of Wildlife Biologist in charge of the Monte Cristo J\'{ountains in Nye County, states as follows: "This water deyelopment was an emergency build based upon the number of bighorn sheep that occupy the range (60+ ) and the available water. The current drought conditions and forage conditions in 20] 2 will require a greater consumption of water resources. It was feared that the one known spring would dry up this year leading to stranded bighorn sheep in the area. This unit could nol be built earlier because it was not cleared through the BLM. We built this water development as SOOI1 as we could as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the bighorn sheep located in the area." The specific goal of this projecr was to provide a stable water source for the at-risk population of bighorn sheep in the "\tlonte Cristo l'vfountains. Measurable outcomes will be through observation and documentation of bighorn sheep utilizing this water source, and the monitoring of the general health of the bighorn sheep herds in the area. Additional benefit will be $cel1 with other wildlife species utilizing lhis \vater source. 2. Project location: 1\10nte Cristo Mountains in N ye County, ~evada.
