A hunter from Idaho broke records this past weekend at the California Wild Sheep Foundation annual fundraiser - bidding $170,000 for the Open Zone desert sheep tag. The special fundraising tag allows the hunter to hunt in any of the approved 9 hunt zones during the 2013 season with an additional one month added time before the start of the regular season.

The monies from the winning bid are used by California Dept of Fish and Wildlife in their bighorn sheep management program.  CA WSF was pleased to market and auction the tag at their annual Banquest and Fundraiser.  CA WSF has helped to grow the sheep population in California since it’s inception in 2001 — funding surveys and translocations of herds, development of water sources, disease research, and working with the Ca DFW and other parties to develop a bighorn sheep management program.
