THE HUNT FOR A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OREGON BIGHORN
With hunting being such a big part of my life growing up, there has always been the excitement of big game draw day. I woke early in spring of 2024 to see if I had drawn any tags. I passed the word UNSUCCESSFUL a few times and then launched out of bed when I saw SUCCESSFUL in green beside bighorn sheep. After 17 years, I had finally drawn an Oregon ram tag. I immediately called my dad, mom, and brother to tell them the great news, knowing they would be as excited as me.

Exploring Burch Carson's Early Advocacy for Texas' Desert Bighorns
The Mission: Survey declining desert bighorn sheep populations in the rugged mountains of West Texas.
Provision: $125 monthly and expenses to feed two horses and three dogs.
That’s what W.B. “Burch” Carson accepted as he rode into the harsh country of the Trans-Pecos to catalog desert sheep populations for the Texas Game, Fish & Oyster Commission in the 1940s. Outside of wildlife biologists, Carson’s name is not well-known, but those who do know of his work regard him as a visionary and a legend.
