to put and keep wild sheep on the mountain since 1982.

since 1982

Joining Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation

The Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation 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 more than 1,300 committed members.

Congratulations to Kylin G. out of Idaho for winning the Winner’s Choice Hunt raffle during our membership promotion. Kylin is going on the Mountain Goat hunt with Terminus Mountain Outfitters.
