EPISODE 72

Tough to choose, but here is a Best of Sheep Fever 2024 special episode. Actually, our listeners choose for us by most popular downloads.
 
A lot of ground covered by some pretty smart folks in sheep hunting, conservation’s history and future, wild sheep biology, predator management, shooting technology and marksmanship, to name a few.

US federal public lands are home to the majority of bighorn, desert bighorn, and Dall’s sheep in the country.  The Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) cannot sacrifice these lands any more than we could sacrifice these wild sheep that are our life’s mission.  We are committed equally to the entirety of the public land estate beyond the ranges of wild sheep.  The many values of these lands held in trust exceed the value of any other use or tenure.

As noted in our inaugural FY 2022-23 Conservation Impact Summary last year, WSF revised our Grant-In-Aid (GIA) process in the spring of 2022 to focus on larger, bolder, more impactful, and multi-year legacy projects with nearly all of them coming to WSF through our chapter and affiliate network. This action transformed our GIA program, and our Board of Directors recently renewed this focus for our current fiscal year. We are very pleased to report a second year of record results and record funding toward our conservation, education, and advocacy mission in this expanded FY 2023-24 Conservation Impact Summary.

The Boone and Crockett Club announced today that the Wild Sheep Foundation is the presenting sponsor of the 32nd Annual Big Game Awards banquet that will be held in Springfield, Missouri on July 25, 2025. The 32nd Big Game Awards recognizes the most impressive heads, horns, and antlers accepted into the Boone and Crockett Club’s record book over the past three years and is a celebration of Fair Chase hunting and conservation of North American big game. WSF is also sponsoring the Wild Sheep display, which showcases the top Rocky Mountain bighorns, desert bighorns, Dall’s, and Stone’s sheep from the Awards period. 

This past February, the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission (NGPC) successfully helicopter captured, tested, collared, and released 36 bighorn sheep in the Wildcat Hills as part of an ongoing effort to enhance the state's bighorn sheep population.
