WINDPROOF WHERE YOU NEED IT, BREATHABILITY WHERE YOU DON’T SO YOU NEVER TAKE IT OFF

N E W M O U N TA I N E V O J A C K E T Built for high-exertion backcountry pursuits, the Mountain Evo Jacket uses strategically body-mapped fabrics to provide windproof protection where you need it most while also allowing exceptional breathability and stretch, so you stay dry and comfortable throughout your hunts. WINDSTOPPER® by Gore-Tex Labs product technology stops heat-sapping gusts in their tracks, while 4-way stretch panels dump heat and allow unrestricted movement. The result is a jacket you can put on in the morning and not have to think about for the rest of the day.

LIVE AUCTION PAYMENT SCHEDULES AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) is organized to benefit wild sheep by generating funds by auctioning items donated by individuals and/or companies. Any bid made at a WSF auction, whether in person at a live auction, by phone, online or at a silent auction, constitutes an unconditional offer to buy the item in question at the price bid. Unless a higher and subsequent bid is made, your bid creates a binding contract of purchase, obligates you to sign the bid ticket or, in the case of a phone or online bid, authorizes the person who took the bid to sign on your behalf AND requires that the bid amount be paid prior to the close of the auction. In the event that the successful bid was made by phone or online, the bid price must be received before the close of the fifth business day after the close of the auction. For any purchase of more than $100,000, upon request, all issued check currently dated will not be deposited until the opening of the sixth business day after the close of the auction.

Auction items must be paid for by the close of Convention. Payments will be taken at the auction payment table during the Ladies Luncheon, Life Member Breakfast, and all evening auctions. Payments can be made by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. If the winner of an auction refuses to pay the winning bid price plus any premiums required, the item shall be offered to the next highest bidder for the price he/she bid. If the next highest bidder declines the item or if the second highest bidder is unknown, the President shall dispose of the item at his/her discretion.

CONSERVATION TAG AUCTION RULES Your bid is a legally binding contract whether by phone, internet or in person. Have all questions answered prior to beginning of the bidding process. As auctioneer, The Wild Sheep Foundation acts as agent for the Seller. The sale contract is made directly between the Seller and the Buyer. 1. BIDDING AND REPRESENTATIVES (a) It is strongly encouraged that the actual hunter themselves bid on conservation tags, permits or licenses. In instances where a guide, outfitter or other representative is bidding for a hunter, the actual hunter’s name, address and taxpayer identification number shall be submitted to WSF staff within five business days of the close of the auction. Outfitters, guides or other parties are not allowed to hold tags, permits or licenses for resale at a latter date. (b) Bidders act as principal unless they have Wild Sheep Foundation’s prior written consent to bid as an agent for another party. Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal if bidding as an agent. 2. REFUND POLICY (a) Wild Sheep Foundation acts solely as a conduit for the auction and transfer of certain state, tribal, NGO, provincial and other similar conservation tags that may or may not allow the hunter beneficial opportunities otherwise not available through other means. Each tag, license or associated hunt has rules, regulations and refund policies different and unique to each lot. Please read the auction details carefully prior to bidding. In the event that the hunter/winning bidder can not start, complete or utilize any auction tag purchased or won through a Wild Sheep Foundation conducted or sponsored auction or raffle for any reason including natural disasters, an otherwise “Act of God”, unforeseen health incident, COVID 19 or other pandemic, international or state border closings, weather conditions, travel difficulties or other catastrophes/incidents that are out of the direct control of the agency directly issuing the permit, license or tag, the purchaser may not be eligible for a refund. As such, all refund negotiations will be between the purchaser and the agency directly responsible for the issuance of the permit, tag or license and not the Wild Sheep Foundation.

(b) The Wild Sheep Foundation has fixed expenses in conducting auctions involving conservation tags, permits and licenses. Depending on the individual arrangement with the state, province, tribal authority or other governmental or NGO selling the tag, permit or license the fixed expense associated with tag, permit or license normally five to ten percent of the hammer price shall not be eligible for refund regardless of any other refund arrangement negotiated between the issuing authority and the bidder.

(d) Payment may be in the form of personal or business checks, certified checks, traveler checks, money orders, or wire transfers. Credit cards are accepted only for conservation tag auction purchases with prior approval and are subject to a three percent surcharge. Transactions may not be deemed as complete for up to seven business days in order to allow payment to clear.Wire Transfers: please include your account name and lot numbers purchased as the “additional information” that you may provide when sending the wire transfe

3. PAYMENT AND COLLECTIONS (a) If you are a successful Buyer of a Lot, you will receive by email an invoice from Wild Sheep Foundation as soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the auction. In the event of any discrepancy between notifications received by you and the invoice emailed to you by Wild Sheep Foundation, the invoice prevails. Terms and conditions regarding payment of the invoice are set out below.

4. NON PAYMENT OF AUCTION ITEMS If you fail to pay the total amounts due for the purchased Lot(s) in accordance with Condition (b) above in full by the Due Date, Wild Sheep Foundation will be entitled to exercise any of the remedies identified below.

(b) charge interest at 1.5% monthly and the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis;

(c) Unless otherwise agreed, payment of the total amount specified on the purchase invoice for a Lot is due by the Buyer immediately following receipt of the Wild Sheep Foundation invoice for the relevant purchased Lot and in any event no later than 48 hours after receipt of the invoice (the "Due Date"). Wild Sheep Foundation will only accept payment from the registered Bidder and we cannot change the Buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a name which differs to the name of the registered Bidder. If you are registered to bid as a company, your company will need to pay for any purchases in the name of the company via an accepted payment method. Partial payment of a Lot, or payment across multiple credit cards for a single Lot, is not permitted. Further information regarding accepted payment methods is set out as follows:

(a) reject future bids from the Buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit;

(c) resell the Lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and reserves at Wild Sheep’s discretion. In the event such resale is for less than the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, the Buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale; (d) commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price and Buyer's Expenses for that Lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis;

The relationship between lead and wildlife is quite the topic these days. Understanding of the topic is often riddled with confusion, misinformation, and exploitation by special interest groups.The North American Non-Lead Partnership was founded to overcome these challenges while preserving our wildlife conservation and hunting heritage. We do this by working through public-private partnerships to build voluntary, incentive-based outreach and education programs that support the future of hunting while preventing unintentional lead poisoning in wildlife. In this seminar, we will take a deep dive into the science of wildlife lead exposure, ballistics and terminal performance, and the effectiveness of voluntary programs that demonstrate our commitment to conservation while protecting the public image of hunting. The goal of this seminar is to share the best available information, learn from one another, and continue to represent hunters as leaders in conservation.

Starting off in the mid-1950s Gordon will take you to the untamed mountains and peaks of Alaska where he got his start as an outdoor film maker. Hunt majestic Dall's sheep on the skree slides of the rugged Alaska range with Gordon Eastman as your guide.Then travel to the legendary McKenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories of Canada after rams that have never seen a person before. And concluding with a very dramatic family sheep hunt with Gordon and son Brad both taking magnificent Stone's rams in the high rocky terrain of the Cassiar Mountains of Northern British Columbia, Canada in the mid1960s. A film nearly 75 years in the making.

How Far We’ve Come - SITKA Films

11:15am - 11:45am - Thursday Q&A with Rachel Ahtila After years of dedicated work as a sheep guide in the remote mountains of the Northwest Territories, SITKA Ambassador Rachel Ahtila is rewarded with her first Dall sheep hunt. It's her dream, a once-in-alifetime opportunity; and choosing a hunting partner for this 10-day hunt could mean the difference between success and failure in the harsh and unforgiving Canadian wilderness. In spite of their complicated relationship, she invites her father to join her, choosing time in the mountains as a chance to reconnect with her dad.

Return to the Rocks - Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation

12:00pm - 12:30pm - Thursday Q&A with Katie Cheesbrough Bighorn sheep were once prolific in the Sweetwater Rocks of central Wyoming as documented by travelers along the Oregon Trail. Due to overhunting and disease, native bighorn sheep were extirpated from the area by 1907. Restoring sheep to the Sweetwater Rocks is a complex issue that has been pursued since the 1940s. In July 2021, a new proposal was brought before the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission to return bighorn sheep to their native range in the Sweetwater Rocks. “Return to the Rocks” is a brief exploration of the politics, collaboration, and passion that go into bighorn sheep management in Wyoming.

Home for the Wild - Vail Bighorn Sheep Initiative

1:15pm - 1:45pm - Thursday Q&A with Vail Bighorn Sheep Initiative Two years in the making, filmmakers trekked deep into the Gore Range to capture the journey of one of the only remaining native herds of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Colorado to create Home for the Wild - The Journey of Vail's bighorn sheep. This 12 minute documentary film highlights the unique herd, their habitat, threats and recent collaring research study. This film helped galvanize community support for the Town of Vail to acquire, and soon protect, a 23-acre parcel of crucial bighorn sheep winter range.

In Pursuit - Weatherby Films

2:00pm - 3:15pm - Thursday Q&A with Adam & Brenda Weatherby In Pursuit tells the tale of two very different sheep hunts. This film helps tell the story of what unites many of us as hunters as it follows Adam and Brenda Weatherby along on their two different North American ram hunts in 2023. Whether it’s outfitted or DIY, public land or private, bought or drawn, to have a tag in our pocket and be in pursuit of the animals we love to chase is what often draws us together. From the wilds of the Yukon to the intense terrain of Montana’s rugged mountains, the challenge of sheep hunting and the satisfaction of spending time in the field is told in this upcoming film to be premiered at the 2024 Wild Sheep Show.

<1iClub Mid-Asian Ibex - Weatherby Films

Selective

10:30am - 11:45am - Friday Q&A with Jason Matzinger & Keith Balfourd In the Lexicon of hunting, one word has evolved more than any other, the Trophy.The concept of a trophy first emerged through the lens of our innate appreciation for the grandest and oldest ambassadors of the wildernessa testament to the challenges faced and the reverence held for these remarkable creatures.Yet, misconceptions and misrepresentations have cast a shadow over this terminology, transforming it into an unjust weapon aimed at the heart of all hunting endeavors.And yet, the practice of removing older male animals that have already genetically contributed to herd health has long been a cornerstone of responsible hunting. Such a selective harvest was an imperative step towards the recovery and sustainability of game species and the birth of a stewardship mindset that safeguards the vibrancy of our ecosystems. It’s time for sportsmen to reclaim the narrative and embrace the pro-found conservation benefits entwined within the art of selective hunting. Filmmaker Jason Matzinger illuminates the careful choices and deep responsibility inherent in selective hunting as he takes to the Northwest Territories to pursue the right wild sheep trophy. 19.


Wild & Wool - Disease is killing our wild sheep

12:00pm - 12:45pm - Friday Q&A with Dr. Peregrine Wolff & Kevin Hurley Pathogens passed from domestic sheep, goats, and aoudad to wild sheep are killing wild sheep. The culprit is called Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae or M.ovi, for short. It is a bacterium carried by some domestic sheep and goats that can lead to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia in wild sheep. M.ovi does not affect humans. Wild & Wool, from the Wild Sheep Foundation, in partnership with Sitka Gear, Implement Productions, and Foss Media, takes an in-depth look at what we know about disease die-offs and what can be done to prevent these catastrophic events in the future.

Journey of a Thousand Choices - SITKA Films

LIONHEART

10:30am - 11:30am - Saturday Q&A with Robbie Kröger & Tyler Johnerson The unique connection between a Houndsman and the world around them is a story typically left untold. The Houndsman’s relationship with their dogs is represented by overwhelming feelings of joy, pride, and as many dog owners understand, an unfathomably deep bond between canine and owner that words simply cannot describe effectively. Unlike most other activities, utility and working dogs are almost always questioned when mixed in, or associated with, hunting. Often vilified, the act of hunting with dogs is regularly ramped up to heightened states of hysteria when the animal being pursued is a predator such as a mountain lion. The raw reality is this narrative exists only because of a lack of understanding around the activity itself, the dogs, and the relationship the Houndsmen and women have with both the dogs and the environment and animals around them. Lionheart is the story seen through the eyes of the people that hunt lions with dogs. The film uncovers their views, their hearts, their why, their bond, and the relationship they have with their hounds. For the first time ever, the human side of the Houndsmen is revealed through the lens of this film to answer those who question, and try to help create a bridge to understanding.

Beyond Bonds - A Women Hunt Story More than just a hunt

Hosted by: Jana Waller, Skull Bound Chronicles Robbie Kröger, Blood Origins 12:30pm - 1:30pm - Saturday Q&A with Jana Waller, Robbie Kröger, Renée Thornton, Rebecca Peters, and Brandi Love Hunting brings us together and creates bonds that can last for decades. There are highs, lows, and countless emotions and experiences in between. Beyond Bonds – A Women Hunt Story is a journey of three women, bound together in their passion for learning, empowerment, and self-reliance. Set in the mountains of southern British Columbia in pursuit of black bear is the story of the mentor becoming the mentee, of the mentee’s gratitude, of a journey of Women in Hunting®. Join us for the premiere of Beyond Bonds – A Women Hunt Story. It’s more than just a hunt.

Transmission

3:00pm - 4:40pm - Saturday Q&A with Jesse Bone,Tash Baycroft & Kyle Stelter TRANSMISSION looks at the people on the front lines fighting the disease, the people on the ground working for a better future for our wild - and domestic - sheep populations. One of those people is the subject of our film, BC wildlife veterinarian Dr. Helen Schwantje. Helen is a sheep nut. While studying as a wildlife biologist, she majored in wild sheep studies and now raises sheep on her farm. TRANSMISSION follows Helen on what could be the most important pursuit of her career; finding a cure for Movi. The standard method of dealing with Movi is to capture wild sheep, test them, and then cull the positive ones before they can infect others. The physically and emotionally draining exercise drives Helen and her team to take a different approach… to eliminate Movi at the source. This is where our film begins. Succeeding in this experimental treatment in BC will mean having a conservation model that all the world could follow. But doing this takes a delicate balance of science and politics. It takes relationships with farmers and wild sheep advocates. It will take controversy. Frustration. Good science. Hard work. Patience. Heartbreak. And hope. We’ll meet the colleagues helping her with her work, the community invested in finding a cure and the farmers who only want what is best for their animals. Their passion and expertise craft a story about the future not just for wild sheep - but for the wild places we still have left. 21.

A great opportunity at a record book pronghorn antelope. Long season dates to hunt the entire state in search of the trophy of your dreams. Nevada’s antelope population was estimated to be approximately 29,500 animals in 2023. Harvest data indicate that approximately 20 percent of bucks harvested have horn lengths more than 15 inches. In recent years, several bucks scoring between 80 and 85 Boone and Crockett points have been harvested, but there is always potential for larger bucks in the 85+ inch range, especially considering that Nevada has experienced improved habitat conditions resulting from recent above average precipitation. Hunting the high desert of the Great Basin for “speed goats” is an addicting adventure you won’t forget. Be ready to have fun!

By regulation, a Wyoming Governor’s Moose License is only valid in open hunt areas with more than 10 Type 1 (any or antlered) moose licenses issued. In 2023, this license would have been valid in 10 hunt areas: 3, 5, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 38, 41 and 45. These hunt areas account for over 70% of annual Shiras moose harvest in Wyoming. The number of licenses issued by hunt areas MAY change from year to year. Season dates and license numbers for 2024 will be finalized by the WGF Commission in April, 2024. For further information, please contact Tim Thomas, Wyoming Game and Fish Department. The successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area with more than 10 Type 1 licenses issued. The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area and may hunt different hunt areas subject to season dates. The 5-year waiting period between moose licenses does not affect the ability to purchase a Wyoming Governor’s Moose license. Purchasing this license is independent of applying for a moose license through the regular draw process. The license fee ($152 for Residents; $2,752 for Nonresidents) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a Wyoming Governor’s Moose license. 90% of the auction proceeds are returned to Wyoming to fund moose projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition. 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm - Thursday, January 18, 2024 • Tuscany Ballroom • Reno, Nevada

This collaborative event brings conservationists together from across North America to raise funds for wild sheep conservation projects in British

Columbia. This event is being offered Aug 23-26th, 2024 and will include 28 professionally guided teams, each consisting of two anglers, from across North America. Join us in Chilliwack BC for two all-inclusive days of world-class sturgeon fishing, meals, three nights hotel accommodations, topped with an awards banquet on the final evening of the weekend. In 2023 the prize package was valued at nearly $15,000. This is not your standard ‘fishing trip’ and is exclusive to only those who purchase teams through conservation chapters and affiliates. The Jurassic Classic was awarded the WSF Presidents Award in 2019. The focus on this trip is to promote and support wild sheep projects in British Columbia and provide the 56 anglers with some great camaraderie and friendly competition. The overlying theme of this

event is to show up and enjoy a weekend where we take care of all the details. All participants will be treated to a Wild Game BBQ on the shores of the mighty Fraser River on Saturday evening. This 2-day fishing trip is provided by Great Rivers Fishing Adventures who offer fully guided world-class white sturgeon charters with fish that can exceed 1500 pounds and 13 feet in length. Come out and support BC wild sheep projects and enjoy a great weekend on the river. In 2023 this event was a great success and raised over $75,000 for wild sheep projects across British Columbia. Demand is extremely high for 2024 as this is already a sold-out event with returning guests. This is one of your only chances to be a part of this event and support the Wild Sheep Foundation.

Second only to the big argali rams, the Siberian ibex has struck Frank’s fancy the most, being particularly impressed by the adult billy’s powerful muscles bulging threw their beautiful multicolored hide and their ability to climb high into the vertical cliffs of the Mongolian mountains! In this sculpture Frank tried to capture these unique features of this gorgeous critter while he scales the crags; hence the title “Critter of the Crags”. Frank brought home a complete life-size ibex skeleton from Mongolia. Using that skeleton as reference, he carved a wooden one-fifth size miniature skeleton that he used as an armature for sculpting the piece.With wire at the joints, he moved the miniature skeleton to the desired position. Using oil-based modeling clay, he replicated the muscles and hair texture for the original sculpture.The accuracy of the joints and length of bones made this piece one of the easiest to model, enabling him to work the sculpture with ease. Size with walnut base: 35” tall by 13” wide by 12 deep. Weighs a little over 45 pounds. VALUE: $9,500

Restoration of desert bighorn sheep in Texas has been an ongoing project since the 1950s. Through the cooperative efforts of the Wild Sheep Foundation, Texas Bighorn Society, private landowners and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, we have successfully restored desert bighorns in Texas to the population levels of the late 1800s. The permit provides the opportunity for one lucky winner to hunt for one desert bighorn ram in the beautiful mountains of West Texas on one of the following State of Texas Wildlife Management Areas: Elephant Mountain, Sierra Diablo, or Black Gap. The hunt will most likely occur between September 1, 2024, and July 31, 2025. All hunts are fully guided by TPWD personnel. The hunt will be for 10 days or until a ram is taken, whichever comes first. TPWD will provide lodging, meals, and on-site transportation. The hunter is required to possess a valid Texas hunting license (approximately $ 315 for a non-resident). Proceeds from the sale of this permit will go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Desert Bighorn Sheep Program and will be used exclusively for desert bighorn restoration and management in Texas. Proceeds from past hunts have paid for the restoration of desert bighorns into sheep habitat which has been void of bighorns for over 50 years. Your support is very much appreciated! A 5% buyer’s premium will be added to the final bid price of this special permit/tag (unless prohibited by statute).The proceeds will be dedicated to WSF Conservation Initiatives.

ALASKAN CHUGACH DALL’S SHEEP TAG

• FRIDAY BANQUET •

ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH & GAME Thomas Lohuis P: 907.267.2412 E: thomas.lohuis@alaska.gov BOOTH# 548 Here is a spectacular opportunity for your 2024 sheep hunt. This special permit area now includes all of the drawing permit areas of the Chugach Mountains in Alaska Game Management Units 13D, 14A, and 14C. With this permit, you can hunt any of these units, including Metal and Friday Creeks, Tazlina Glacier, and the coveted Ram Valley, Falls Creek, Eagle River, and Hunter Creek units within Chugach State Park. All of these units have had very limited hunting pressure for the last several years. Much of the Chugach has been on limited draw since 2008, and permits are in high demand. Many hunters are reporting complete solitude on their hunts, a situation not experienced since the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s. Imagine pursuing multiple 40+ inch class Dall’s sheep through glaciers, high cirques, and snowcapped peaks, while walking on generations-old sheep trails by yourself. This permit gives you the very real possibility to put a Dall’s ram from Alaska into the record books. Several recent Chugach permit holders harvested rams that broke the magic 170-inch mark, and many more have taken rams that scored in the mid to high 160s. Finally, by purchasing this permit, you are supporting Alaska’s Dall’s sheep research program and making a critical contribution to sheep research and management in Alaska. New staff has been hired and are conducting research in the Alaska and Brooks ranges, and groundbreaking work continues in the Wrangell and Chugach mountains as well. We extend our thanks to WSF and the permit purchasers; we appreciate your support! 165.

DONATION: The Vanguard Camilla Rifle, “designed by women, built by Weatherby,” incorporates a high comb, along with a number of other features that make this rifle superbly comfortable to shoot. The synthetic buttstock is angled away from the body, which is a better fit for the female anatomy and nestles easily into the shoulder. The slim pistol grip has a shorter grip-to-trigger reach, ideal for slightly smaller hands, and the 13-inch length of pull (LOP) and slender fore-end reduce overall weight and length without compromising feel and balance. The WSF Women Hunt® Program has customized the base rifle with a Women Hunt® logo floor plate, added a muzzle brake and treated all in an olive Cerakote protective coating. The rifle is topped by a Leica AMPLUS 6 3-18 x 44 illuminated scope with Ballistic reticle in Talley rings on Picatinny rail. The rifle package includes a Boyt hard case approved for airline travel.

STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE P: 775.688.1556 - Mike Cox BOOTH# 454 The Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn, the longest standing wild sheep advocacy organization in North America, in partnership with the Wild Sheep Foundation are proud to offer the coveted Nevada Desert Bighorn Heritage Tag offered by Nevada Department of Wildlife and Board of Wildlife Commissioners. Nevada has 314 mountain ranges, more than any other lower 48 state, and more desert bighorn sheep than any other jurisdiction in North America. This vast and rugged canvas of both the Mojave and Great Basin Desert mountains are naturally suited for wild sheep. Through the vision of wildlife biologists and passionate support from sportsmen groups like the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn, bighorn sheep restoration and water development efforts have helped increase Nevada’s desert bighorn population from its low of 2,500 in 1960 to over 8,000! Though total bighorn numbers have been depressed in recent years, there still great rams scattered across the state. The most recent harvest data from the 2022 season was 213 rams with 7 rams 170+ B&C from 5 different hunt units. One ram scored 180 B&C or greater and the longest horn length from 2022 was 41 2/8”. Standard tag eligibility provisions do not apply to this tag. The 2024 Nelson Desert Bighorn Heritage – July 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024 (4 units on DOD lands have restricted access, limited season dates, and special requirements). At the start of the season all desert bighorn units are open to this tag. The tagholder or their licensed guide, must call the Bighorn Sheep Harvest Information Hotline prior to hunting to determine if any hunt units have been closed due to harvest limits being reached for specialty tags. Nevada’s bighorn sheep restoration program is supported in large part by the auction of this Heritage desert bighorn sheep tag.

In fact, since 2005 Colorado is second only to Montana in the U.S. in the number of B&C bighorn sheep entries. Over the past 10 years, the auction and raffle rams were harvested from 14 different game management units, attesting to the excellent quality throughout the state. The 2022 statewide sheep hunters each shot rams of 185”+. The winner of this license will have the opportunity to pursue a Rocky Mountain bighorn ram for approximately a fivemonth time frame. The season start dates are unit and weapon-specific and may open as early as August 1, 2024 with the added benefit of a closing date of December 31, 2024. Most regular seasons close around the first week of October, but the winner of this tag will be allowed to hunt during the rut and may be the only sheep hunter in the field. Guiding/outfitting is not included with the purchase of this license. This license is not valid for the harvest of a desert bighorn sheep and is not transferable to another person. If you are interested in this license and would like specific information on season dates, previous hunt photos, or other regulations, please visit us at Booth #1563.

10 - DAY CHIHUAHUA DESERT BIGHORN SHEEP HUNT SELL PRICE

RANCHO LA GUARIDA Jose Antonio Vallina Laguera P: 011.52.1614.427.0840 E: jav@laguaridaranch.com W: www.laguaridaranch.com BOOTH# 754 There is something exciting happening in the world of desert bighorn sheep. Long known for its precious few numbers and for its equally precious hunting permits; desert bighorn sheep numbers have been slowly increasing and nowhere is that truer than in Chihuahua, Mexico. This year WSF will offer one tag for this population that was started with the genetics from Tiburon Island. Jose Antonio Vallina a businessman, conservationist, and hunter, started Rancho La Guarida in 1982 where he built a beautiful lodge and

started developing water sources for the native wildlife. In 2000, he was able to bring in the first desert bighorn sheep and additional sheep were transplanted in 2002 and 2003. Some from Tiburon Island and some from other sources to increase generic diversity. Originally the sheep were placed in a 10,000-acre ranch that was partially high fenced. Rancho La Guarida has since added another 10,000 acres that are completely open creating a 20,000+ acre eco system for desert bighorn sheep. The lambing success has been exceptional due to the excellent habitat and genetics there is a herd of +450 sheep, with about half of them being rams so hunters can expect to harvest rams in the 175 - 190 categories. Desert bighorn sheep taken on Rancho La Guarida qualify for the Boone and

Crockett Club Record Book as well as the WSF Awards Programs as free range, Fair Chase wild sheep. The hunt needs to be scheduled from November 2024 to March 2025 hunting season. After the hunter arrives in Chihuahua City, everything will be arranged for them in the very finest tradition of Mexican hospitality. The hunt is for 10 days, and one companion can join the hunter at the bid price. Additional companions can be included at an additional charge. There are daily nonstop flights from Dallas, Houston and Phoenix into Chihuahua City or there is a landing strip on the property for direct flights into Rancho La Guarida. Experience the finest desert sheep hunt by purchasing this desert sheep hunt!

This eagle sculpture created by Frank & Sue Entsminger is a special copy created for just for the Wild Sheep Foundation. The bald eagle is a symbol of America, a nation strong, bold, courageous, and free just like our Wild Sheep organization. This eagle sculpture is a special copy just for the Wild Sheep Foundation. Throughout Frank’s art career, his art fans strongly encouraged him to sculpt an eagle. A client asked Frank to do one life-size by a certain time. With a looming deadline, Frank’s lovely supportive wife, Sue, could see the huge project that faced Frank and she stepped in to help. Frank was excited to have Sue help with fresh new ideas on how to make the process easier. Frank engineered the base & the position of open wings after prey. He started with a block of foam to carve the first wing. Sue began on the tail suggesting making individual feathers not a block of foam. This really helped. After carving the first wing from a block of foam, Frank could see doing individual feathers for the wing primaries was the best. Together they worked on the other wing making individual primary feathers. Most of the detailing of the wings top and bottom were done by Sue, while Frank carved the body. Together they worked the winter of 202223 every day, putting in long hours bringing the life-size bronze eagle to fruition. The eagle sculpture is Frank's first ever life-size sculpture & the first ever from both Frank & Sue. The life-size bronze eagle stands 96” tall weighing approximately 330 pounds which includes inner stainlesssteel structure for added strength mounted on a beautiful hardwood base. Entirely made in America. This piece is a limited edition of 36. https://www. wildernesscreations.com/package/ pursuit/ This project was a product of love created with lots of blood, sweat, & tears by Frank & Sue. We sincerely thank you for the many years support. Included is a crate for shipping. Shipping cost not included. VALUE: $45,000

CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF WARM SPRINGS BRANCH OF NATURAL RESOURCES - CA BIGHORN SHEEP PERMIT

NEW FOR 2024 SHEEP SHOW®! CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF WARM SPRINGS BRANCH OF NATURAL RESOURCES Austin Smith Jr - Branch of Natural Resources General Manager P: 541.553.2046 E: wildlifetags@ctwsbnr.org BOOTH# 2176 The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs (CTWS) is pleased to announce its first ever public California bighorn sheep auction permit. 168 years in the making, this inaugural hunt will not disappoint. Located in beautiful Central Oregon, the boundaries of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation consist of the wild and scenic Metolius and the Deschutes rivers, known for their runs of wild steelhead and salmon. This rugged and diverse country contains spectacular views of the State’s highest peaks and hosts an array of wildlife ranging from wolves to mountain goats, with massive bighorn rams in between. This once in a

lifetime opportunity will allow a hunter the chance to pursue game over nearly 200,000 acres of habitat on the largest Reservation in the state. Managed for the benefit of subsistence hunting and traditional material uses, the Mutton Mountain sheep herd of Oregon was established over two decades ago and has been pursued by less than 25 Tribal members in controlled hunts since 2007. Tribal management, paired with stringent public access restrictions, has led to a band of sheep nearly 300 strong that are truly wild, in an equally wild country. The largest ram taken from this band in 2015 held the record for fifth in the state, scoring in at nearly 185”. Left relatively untouched, these animals have only gotten bigger in the ensuing years. There is no finer opportunity than this for taking an exceptional California bighorn sheep. Hunters may choose to boat into their location, or hike into a backcountry seldom experienced by non-Tribal members, promising a fullscale adventure.

Proceeds of this permit will be used to aid CTWS in upholding their Integrated Resource Management Plan, manage wild sheep populations and restore habitat, and ensure these resources for future generations through limited and sustainable hunt and harvest. The successful bidder may hunt any bighorn ram within the Mutton Mountain area and north of Eagle Creek drainage during the 2024 hunting season (August 1st - November 30th). CTWS have designated a tribal member guide employed by Eden Ridge Outfitters (ERO), LLC as the licensed outfitter for this hunt. ERO will provide scouting, guide service, and game care. All negotiations for guide services shall be made with ERO. Contact John McCollum at (541)290-2671 or Owen Danzuka Jr. at (541) 325-1326. All hunters must comply with the rules and regulations outlined in the CTWS 2024 hunting regulations and the CTWS Hunting and Trapping Code 350 and other CTWS Tribal Law and Policy.

Hunter can expect to collect an ibex in the 38” to 42” range. 40-inch mark is the magic number for this subspecies of ibex, but bigger trophies can be collected in this area.

AMENITIES INCLUDED: Included in this hunt are the trophy fees for a Stone’s sheep, license, tag, and flights during the hunt. This will be an allinclusive horseback hunt in one of BC’s most productive Stone’s sheep hunting concessions. AMENITIES NOT INCLUDED: Travel to and from Smithers and all accommodations while in Smithers, and gratuities. LOCATION: Smithers, BC (Spatsizi Wilderness Park). ACCOMMODATIONS: Cabins, wall tent, mountain tents. SPECIAL NOTES: Spatsizi is the Tahltan word meaning “land of the red goat”, based on the mountain goats that roll in the iron oxide soils, coloring their normally white coats red. This area in northwestern British Columbia is remote: open plateau tundra and rugged mountains contrast with deep

river drainages and cold, clear lakes. Recognition of the area’s uniqueness by early outfitter Tommy Walker and others led to establishment of Spatsizi as a Provincial Park in 1975, including use for seasonal recreation along with resident and guided non-resident hunting – a unique land management system for BC. At Spatsizi Provincial Park, there is rustic infrastructure, but no fulltime residents, agriculture, or industry. Human access is only by foot, horse, river, and air. Knowledge of this ecosystem began with local First Nation peoples, followed much later by the establishment of a fur trading post by the Hyland brothers. In time, based on formal wildlife research by Valerius Geist and others, the Spatsizi Association for Biological Research (SABR) was established; SABR is a nonprofit entity supporting a long-term program on prey and predator species, from the 1980s to the 2000s. Spatsizi and its wildlife have a rich and very long history. VALUE: $89,500

Arizona is the place to go, producing an astounding number of large, older aged rams. On average over a third of Arizona rams taken make the B&C book every year with several scoring better than 180”. The 2022 season was a great year for Mexicana bighorn sheep hunters in Arizona with 32 rams scoring more than 168”, 24 of those greater than 170”, and there were 4 rams scoring over 180”. Predictions for the 2023 seasons are every bit as good. The 2022 Special Tag holder took a 10-year-old ram green scoring 175 1/8. There is no finer opportunity than Arizona for taking an exceptional Mexicana desert bighorn sheep. Arizona’s desert bighorn sheep country is some of the most picturesque in the West, and an excellent backdrop for

the desert bighorn sheep hunt of your life. Bighorn sheep are managed very conservatively in Arizona.

research. No administrative expenses incurred by either the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society or the Wild Sheep Foundation come from this sale; it all goes on the mountain. To date, this tag has raised more than $6.5 million strictly for bighorn sheep management: Arizona’s entire bighorn sheep special tag program (3 tags in total) has raised over $ 13.4 million. The Arizona Game and Fish Department is grateful to the individual hunters and the wildlife conservation organizations that continue to help fund Arizona’s bighorn sheep management program! It is a huge success.

ALBERTA MINISTER’S SPECIAL LICENCE, ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN SHEEP

ALBERTA PROFESSIONAL OUTFITTERS Jeana Schuurman P: 780.404.0588 E: jeana@apos.ab.ca W: www.apos.ab.ca.com BOOTH# 669 Alberta has long had a reputation for maintaining the healthiest and most robust Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep populations in the world! If you know trophy bighorn sheep, you know Alberta; our genetics are second to none! That’s why Alberta, in the name of conservation, has shared over 700 of our sheep with 11 states and one province over the past few decades. An Alberta ram held the world record for 89 years before breaking its own record in 2000 and then again in 2015; Alberta still boasts nine of the top 25 bighorn sheep ever taken! Still capable of producing 200-inch-plus rams, this highly coveted Alberta’s Minister’s Special License got even better in 2022! With encouragement from the Alberta Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation and help from the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society (APOS), this permit is open to YEAR-ROUND HUNTING.
