WSF Productions back at it again.

Not sure who this “Matt” character is that references at the beginning… that’s clearly Dr. Ungulate.

If your luck in drawing a sheep tag this year has been more on the side of Jarvis than Jaime, we’d encourage you to get in on a great opportunity to win a desert sheep hunt with our friends . Watch to the end to learn how!

This week, WSF’s COO and Executive VP of Conservation, Corey Mason, as well as certified wildlife biologist, Kevin Hurley, joined wildlife professionals from across North America at the 25th Biennial Northern Wild Sheep & Goat Council Symposium to hear the latest research and management updates affecting wild sheep and mountain goat populations.

From disease ecology and population monitoring to habitat management and translocation efforts, the symposium highlights the science that informs conservation decisions on the ground. We’re grateful to the researchers, agency biologists, and conservation partners who contribute their expertise and continue pushing our collective understanding forward.

It was a privilege to be in the midst of the action, sponsor the event, and break out the ol’ WSF smoker for dinner on Tuesday night!

For years, the I.O.N. Partnership has brought together conservation partners from across Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada to secure the future of California Bighorn Sheep.

From helicopter captures and health testing to collaring, translocations, and releases, every image in this carousel tells the story of boots-on-the-ground conservation in action. These efforts help monitor herds, combat disease, restore populations, and ensure bighorn sheep continue to thrive across the west.

A special thank you to Beretta for their $80k contribution to I.O.N. sheep projects this year, as well as Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s Outdoor Fund for donating $60k to the cause. Not featured on the last slide, McElevey Charitable Foundation and Campfire Club Conservation Fund also lended their support. Putting and Keeping Wild sheep on the mountain takes a team. If you want to see just a few of the players on that team, scroll to the final slide.

Shoutout to our good friend and WSF content creator, Chester Moore (), who won eight first-place awards for writing, documentary production and podcasting at the recent Press Club of Southeast Texas Excellence in Media Awards.

Those honors included first place in Special Publications for the 2025 WSF Conservation Impact report, for which he served as chief writer. In May, Moore also earned five first-place awards at the Texas Outdoor Writers Association annual awards banquet, including top honors in the publication category for Conservation Impact. His documentary, Gulf Great White Sharks: Return of an Icon, received first-place honors from both organizations in the documentary category.

He also placed in both organizations’ awards competitions for the WSF articles, “Designer Rams” and “Dire Wolves”.

Moore, a lifelong hunter and angler, has a passion for wild sheep conservation and says writing about WSF’s projects is inspiring.

Moore credits the collaborative efforts of WSF’s graphics and production teams with helping bring conservation stories to life and enhancing the impact of the Foundation’s publications and media projects.

A fun fact for your

Bighorn sheep are frequently observed pawing and digging at the soil to access mineral-rich substrates. These natural mineral licks can provide essential nutrients—including sodium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus—that may be limited in forage, particularly during periods of rapid horn growth, lactation, or seasonal nutritional stress.

Mineral acquisition plays an important role in maintaining skeletal health, supporting metabolic processes, and contributing to the development of the impressive horns that define the species.
