Wild sheep are an important part of my life.
Since I was a little boy clipping photos of my favorite game animals out of outdoors magazines and placing them in a scrapbook, these majestic animals have captivated me.
They are also a pillar of our conservation awareness and youth outreach here at Higher Calling Wildlife®.
That’s why I am such a supporter of the National Bighorn Sheep Center in Dubois, WY.
Last year I had the privilege to teach a lesson how to become a conservationist at their annual Camp Bighorn and was bestowed the incredible honor of being named their 2023 “Bighorn Educator of the Year”.
T/hat means I had two occasions to visit the facility and was blown away.
Their mission is to provide education and outreach for the national conservation of wild sheep, wildlife and wild lands and they do an incredible job.
Through their aforementioned Camp Bighorn, educational outreach, ecotours and webinars they reach thousands annually with a pro sheep conservation message.
Partnering with the Wild Sheep Foundation and Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation, they are in a unique position to teach about these great animals.
The facility itself is beautiful and has museum quality taxidermy displays that are sure to captivate the many young and young at heart in the communiy and that stop by on their way to Grand Teton and Yellowstone.
As a kid I would drive my mom crazy to bring me to a local meat market that had a large taxidermy collection.
Now imagine the impact when such a collection is aimed toward conservation awareness.
This place would have boggled my mind as a kid.
As a man it inspires me and I want to take the time to honor them for their great work and turn you on to their facility, website and outreach.
Check it out. You will not be dissappointed.
