Mountain Monarchs: Why Wild Sheep Matter w/ Wild Sheep Foundation | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 173

On this week’s episode of the Big Hunt Guys, we are joined by Corey Mason and Kevin Hurley from the Wild Sheep Foundation to dive deep into the West’s most iconic species— bighorn sheep. We explore wild sheep conservation, the challenges of disease and habitat loss, and how populations are being managed and restored across the West. Plus, we get into what makes these animals so incredibly cool. We also discuss WSF's generous donation as part of Omar’s quest to raise money to build a bighorn sheep guzzler. Omar is running a 100-mile ultra race on May 2nd to raise funds and awareness for sheep conservation. All donations raised will go directly back into the guzzler project!
