Aerial gunning around the high mnt. pastures is the way to go. Ranger1 is right, #'s matter (mating pairs matter more, Feb-April are good months to lay into them).
JRS3, I do not ponder two things: aerial gunning isn't going to work in your neck o the woods for safety reasons, and the legality of capturing a wild animal, placing a transmitter on it and picking it up through telemetry work...without a state or federal permit might be a serious wildlife violation. If you really want to test this theory, trap a florida panther, GPS tag it, and see where life goes. Your idea is great, absolute perfection....it really is. Yet, if I were you, I would not do it. That just comes under the fair chase ideal.
I would love to know where the elk in 'our' mountains or oryx on the basin migrate to around my area throughout the year, but its against the law, and that is fine. 'Yotes are allowed the same respect, in that respect. Other then that, get out your gun and call em up.
