Wild Sheep Foundation Awards Programs
EXCELLENCE, DEDICATION, AND COMMITMENT DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED.
Wild Sheep Foundation gives various recognition awards annually. Due to the tremendous participation we receive from our members, the prestige and popularity of these awards continue to grow each year.
HUNTING AND TROPHY AWARDS
WSF’s Hunting Awards honor the game animals we hunt while recognizing members' accomplishments in harvesting North American sheep with rifles or bows under Fair Chase conditions. The FNAWS recognizes those members who have harvested the Four North American Wild Sheep. Completion of a FNAWS is one of the most sought-after and respected accomplishments among North American sheep hunters. Our Frank Golata and G.C.F Dalziel Awards recognize exemplary North American outfitters and guides dedicated to the highest standards of ethics, sportsmanship, and client service.
