Within our purpose “To Put and Keep Wild Sheep on the Mountain” is the importance of maintaining a balanced age structure of individual populations. An indicator of this balance is mature rams on the landscape. The presence of and the selective harvest of mature male animals is a conservation action that has benefited wild sheep for over a century and continues to this day. We cannot overlook the significance of this fact. 

 
WSF was a proud supporter of the Boone and Crockett Club’s previous Big Game Awards and is pleased to be back sponsoring this latest celebration of big game hunting and conservation. The Club’s records program is a living reminder of what excellence in nature looks like when aided by conservation-minded sportsmen. These fine specimens, and the Fair Chase hunters who were fortunate enough to have taken them, should be celebrated.

BIGHORN SHEEP – 200 B&C POINTS

Over 140 exceptional specimens are on display in Wonders of Wildlife’s Bucks and Bulls Hall from May 1 through July 26. For sheep, this includes Louis Breland’s desert sheep from Coahuila, Mexico, that ranks number 10 all time—of particular note, desert sheep entries have been on the rise with nearly three dozen record-book entries in 2022. In addition, the display will also include Gordon Eastman’s Stone’s sheep taken in 1966 that was entered during the scoring period by his son, Mike Eastman.
 
The 32nd Big Game Awards dinner, sponsored by Wild Sheep Foundation, is the culmination of this special exhibit . The 32nd Big Game Awards will provide Wonders of Wildlife attendees an unparalleled opportunity to view this collection of wildlife and conservation success that will only ever be seen all together in this display.
