A MidwayUSA Foundation grant will help WSF expand hands-on shooting and hunting education for young people through its Shooting, Hunting & Ethics Education Program (S.H.E.E.P.), building skills, reinforcing safe and ethical hunting practices, and connecting the next generation to wildlife conservation. 

Conservation interests often begin long before careers and research projects. They start with curiosity. That curiosity was on full display in Reno, Nevada, during the Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience, a hands-on education program hosted by the Wild Sheep Foundation as part of its annual Sheep Show.
 

Recently, Wild Sheep Foundation's Shooting, Hunting & Ethics Education Program (S.H.E.E.P.) coordinator, Ryan Brock, was able to visit southern Nevada to help students in the Silver State better understand their state mammal, the desert bighorn sheep.

The story ends with eating a heart—yes, a deer heart—but that’s only the finale. It begins in a Nevada airport, where three young girls—two seventh graders and a third grader—met before flying across the country for a youth deer hunt in Missouri.

During the recent Sheep Show® in Reno, NV, the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) welcomed over 3,000 young people and their families to its annual Youth Wildlife Conservation Experience (YWCE).

The Wild Sheep Foundation announced the winners of its Life Membership Fund Scholarships. This year’s top scholarships go to Catherine Cummings, from Auburn, Alabama, and Megan Mellor, attending the University of Nevada, Reno.
