About Wild Sheep Foundation–Idaho Chapter

The mission of Wild Sheep Foundation–Idaho Chapter is to enhance wild sheep populations in Idaho, and with partners in adjacent states, for public enjoyment, education, and fair chase hunting; to promote professional wildlife management, and protect sportsmen's rights.

History: The Wild Sheep Foundation–Idaho Chapter was founded in 1982 by two dozen concerned sportsmen who wanted to “put more bighorns on Idaho’s mountains”. From that core group, many of which are still very active on our board and committees, we have grown to a thriving organization with over 300 committed members.

Conservation Friends from Opposite Sides of the World Work to “Put Sheep on the Mountain”

In the above photo Lacy Robinson shows Croc Adams and Peter Byrom radio collared bighorn sheep movements along the Main Salmon River upstream from Riggins, Idaho. These 3 friends were drawn together from opposite sides of the world by their dedication to wildlife conservation. Lacy is the Nez Perce tribe’s biologist studying Rocky mountain bighorn sheep on Idaho’s Salmon River. Lacy’s research continues the Nez Perce tribe’s over 10,000 years of history intertwined with bighorn sheep. She is identifying which habitats bighorns use, where they move to, and potential for fatal mixing with domestic sheep. The data she is gathering is essential to Forest Service, BLM, and Fish and Game protection of existing bighorn populations and tribal-TWSF efforts for them to reoccupy historic habitats.
