Well, I love the list. All depends on the sheep and if it's just a duplication of ibex. Also, there is no varmint such as a fox or coyote. There would be obvious justification for cougar/mountain lion or wolf. A new animal is to come given the hints so far. Alena did say once that if, or when they did a wolf it would be done properly in the right way if it happened at all. This could be the moment but my first thoughts, I would expect to see a big cat in the Rockies before a wolf, at least from my one and only trip there. Additionally NA Rockies cover a LOT of territory here and in Canada. From what I've been told, the real crazy mountains are in the great white north. Bottom line- They can keep the pigeons or I have a better idea - In the store, sell ptarmigan poison, single use so at the beginning of the game you poison the entire population so they are gone :lol: ~ so that's about how much I like them at this point :lol: ... I'd buy it, kind of like scent eliminator. I know one guy who would buy the Roe deer version in bulk! :lol: don't get me wrong, they are beautiful! Awesome work! .... just how I really feel :D ~

I want to give credit to EW and a big thank you in regards to these animals.

First, we are getting at least 2 new animals right from the start in a new reserve. that is a first I think. Secondly, prior to the reserve release, Daniel has shared with us the 5 animals. Again perhaps a first.

Truly looking forward to the Bighorn. And I think the list of 5 animals really fits the reserve. As it will be so large and Daniel hinted at an announced future addition, perhaps it will be a 6th or even 7th animal. That would be great.

I could really see Mountain Goat. That would be tremendous. Or mountain lion. Or Shiras Moose.

As far as a re-skin of the Elk possibly, I for one don't' see any negative about that. I think we should focus on the fact that we are getting two new species. Sure, I would like to see a separate Rocky Mtn Elk species. Even a Shiras moose (separate animal to hunt) added and other animals that are subspecies. But just glad to see BIghorn right now.

Thanks.

Would have liked coyotes on this. Don't really see a reason not to include them. But other than that i'm really happy.

The point is that this reserve have to be full of animals (in reasonable numbers balanced with reserve's size)we dont want another empty huge reserve like wrr, and if the number of animals in the new reserve is ok, i dont want them to be reduced as they did in VDB because a bunch of players asked them to.

I like the proposed line-up, and I'm particularly excited about having mule deer on another map. I would have liked a canine too, so my hope is for coyotes or wolves some time in the future. I honestly think felines are an unrealistic expectation. Their implementation would be extremely complex compared to any other species, and without proper environmental interaction (climbing trees, standing on top of or draping themselves over large rocks) I don't think they would work. I very much doubt we will see cats in this reserve.
