Discover fascinating facts about bighorn sheep, their habitats, and the Grand Slam of Sheep Hunting, plus top states for record-breaking bighorns. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 231 What's a Group of Bighorn Sheep Called? Bighorn sheep, one of North America's most iconic animals, live in social groups that are referred to as a herd instead of a flock. These majestic creatures are known for their impressive curled horns and can be found in rugged terrains across the western United States and Canada. Their social structures and unique behaviors make them fascinating creatures to observe. Which State Has the Largest Bighorn Sheep? Montana, Idaho, or Colorado? When it comes to size and record-breaking Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, Montana stands out. Over the last few years, three of the top five Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep recorded by the Boone and Crockett Club came from a small area in northwestern Montana, specifically Wild Horse Island. This remarkable location, just off the western shore of Flathead Lake, has produced some of the largest bighorns in history. Why Montana is a Hotspot for Bighorn Sheep Wild Horse Island, situated in Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi, is a prime habitat for bighorn sheep. It's on this island that some of the most impressive Rocky Mountain bighorns have been found. The area's rugged terrain and abundant resources make it an ideal location for these incredible animals to thrive. Bighorn Sheep: True or False? Males and Females Live Together in Herds False: Males and females do not typically live together in the same herd. Bighorn sheep have distinct social structures. Rams (males) typically form bachelor groups, while ewes (females) live in herds with other females and their young. Female-led herds are organized and have specific roles: some act as guardians or leaders, while others may serve as babysitters for the young. Male-only herds, on the other hand, can consist of 5 to 50 rams at any given time, while female herds are larger, typically ranging from 5 to 100 members. The Grand Slam in Sheep Hunting: What Are the 4 Species? For hunters seeking the ultimate challenge, the Grand Slam of Sheep Hunting is a prestigious achievement. It includes four distinct species of North American sheep: Dall Sheep: Found in Alaska, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Stone Sheep: Found in British Columbia and the Yukon. Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep: Found in the western U.S., including the Rocky Mountains. Desert Bighorn Sheep: Found in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. The Grand Slam Club Founded in 1956, the Grand Slam Club/Ovis recognizes hunters who successfully bag all four species. To date, fewer than 1,400 people worldwide have accomplished this feat. Achieving the North American Sheep Grand Slam is a rare and highly respected milestone in the hunting community. Desert Bighorn Sheep: The Most Expensive of the Bighorns Among these species, Desert Bighorn Sheep are often considered the most expensive and challenging to hunt due to their rarity and the remote locations they inhabit. Conclusion Bighorn sheep are fascinating creatures with unique social structures, diverse habitats, and remarkable species. Whether you're interested in their role in the wild, looking to track record-breaking bighorns, or hoping to achieve a Grand Slam in sheep hunting, understanding these majestic animals enhances the experience. From Montana's Wild Horse Island to the vast landscapes of Wyoming, the pursuit of these extraordinary animals continues to captivate wildlife enthusiasts and hunters alike.

The Wildlife Conservation Battlefield is one not normally occupied, nor perhaps even thought about by the every-day outdoors man and woman. Hunter's rights are constantly being attacked and manipulated by the anti-hunting community, and it may be closer than you realize to impacting you directly. However, organizations like HOWL for Wildlife are making it possible for every outdoor enthusiast and hunters to have their voice heard. Mike Costello and John Stallone are two faces of this organization; and they are dedicated to preserving the future of wildlife and hunting through science-based wildlife management and conservation, and not ballot-box wildlife decisions. Join us for a rich and intense conversation discovering how hunting is slowly and strategically being cut away, what HOWL is currently doing, and how you yourself can better represent your outdoor passions and make your voice known!For more info on HOWL for Wildlife, visit https://www.howlforwildlife.org/Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/)Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

Shane is a past President of the foundation which partners with the Montana FWP to help with Big Horn Sheep to make sure we will always be able to hunt them.

Shane covers some great information about the health and population of Montana's Big Horn Sheep. He also talks about how lucky we are in Montana to be the only state that has a certain type of a Big Horn Sheep Hunting season. Shane also talks about his entertainment career, like singing and song writing. Some of you may not know that Shane is also an actor.

Today Mark Huelsing from Exo Mountain Gear and the Hunt Backcountry Podcast is on the show with us to talk about his recent Dall Sheep hunt up in Alaska. As you'll learn here shortly, that hunt was quite the adventure with lots of emotional ups and downs along the way. He eventually got it done and tagged a great looking sheep on his hunt, but that whole experience seemed like a giant roller coaster ride and sounds like it really tested the limits of human endurance as well.

24-year-old Brooke Watson drew a once in a lifetime bighorn sheep tag in Oregon and I can't think of a person more deserving.

We all decided on this side of the podcast that we need to be real life friends with Andrew McKean. Andrew conveyed a curious spirit and kind approach - a true journalist heart. He has traveled the world and had once-in-a-lifetime experiences while serving as Hunting and Conservation Editor for Outdoor Life Magazine, Hunting Editor for Strung magazine, Conservation Editor for Western Hunting Journal, Conservation Editor for Game & Fish, and contributor to Wild Sheep, Pheasants Forever Journal, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's Bugle Magazine, Ducks Unlimited, Petersen's Hunting, Montana Outdoors, Guidefitter Journal, Gun Dog, Backcountry Hunter, Big Sky Journal, and more. Andrew recently left a writer's event in Montana where he and his peers tested over 70 optics products and he talks about all the categories including budget, versatile, LPVO, precision and electro-optics. He shares his personal story of how a Missouri farm boy becomes a “grubby” newspaper man and eventually combines his love of hunting and words with his career path. Derrick and Andrew talk about the allure of sheep hunting and Andrew tells his story of traveling to India with the late Jim Corbett's .275 Rigby rifle that was discovered in a closet at Oxford University. Full of wisdom and cheer, Andrew was a wonderful guest and a head full of knowledge — Derrick claims this podcast as one of his favorite interviews thus far. . . . . .On The Horizon episodes brought to you by:Horizon FirearmsTexas Ammunitioniota OutdoorsStiller22 Creedmoor Join us on InstagramJoin us on FacebookVideo version available on Horizon Firearm's YouTube Channel On The Horizon podcast: Founder of Horizon Firearms Derrick Ratliff gathers guests to share and discuss outdoor industry expertise and memorable hunting adventures.

Jordan Budd has now been on every type of sheep hunt North America has to offer. Last August, she killed a Dall sheep in Alaska. Dall sheep hunting requires a tremendous amount of mental and physical toughness, and this hunt took that to the extreme. Jordan's hunt showcased the worst weather her guide had ever seen, resulting in days spent alone in a tent. The terrain was steep and nearly shredded her boots, and the pack out was grueling. But she stuck it out and got the job done. In this episode, Jordan relives her Dall sheep hunt. This story will either help you realize that this type of experience isn't for you, or make you want a Dall sheep more than ever.

This is the third and final episode of the Ramtastic adventure Sheep Hunting podcast series. In this podcast, I'm catching up with our crew after having re-entered our post-adventure lives and we debrief about the challenges that we faced as the trip progressed. After a hugely successful opening day, we had two rams on top of the mountain and we faced the perils of getting ourselves, and the meat off the mountain and down the river safely. We were confronted with lots of barriers in getting the meat to butcher without spoiling in the hot temperatures. The hot weather persisted, the bugs were brutal, the river was scary, and our resiliency was waning. We break down our systems for what worked well and what we would do differently next time. We also share our experience with getting both rams through the compulsory inspection process. This turned out to be such an awesome opportunity to learn from sheep experts about ageing wild sheep. And lastly, we get to start planning the next adventure. I hope you enjoyed this episode. Please leave a review and share this podcast. This adventure was made possible by our good friends at West Coast Kitchen for nourishing us all on the way, our Friends at Seek Outside for gearing us up with ultra-lightweight backpacks, and our friends at Alpacka Rafts for the bomber lightweight rafts for the voyage.

We pick up right where we left off in our last episode, talking with our good friend Kelley Cato about his Bighorn Sheep hunt in the Sierra Diablo Mountains in 2004! In part 1 (Episode 61), Kelley sat down with Sam and set the stage for what would be the most memorable hunt of his life. Now, we dive in deep talking about every gritty detail of this incredible experience, all the way to the very end. After overcoming several challenges, Kelley and his guide found themselves in harsh sheep country with only a day left to seal the deal. What would follow is one of the most amazing, intense and emotional conclusions we've ever heard to a once-in-a-lifetime hunt like this. Kelley tells his story flawlessly, and paints us a breathtaking picture which can only be appreciated by true hunters and outdoorsman.
You will never hear a better story about a true once a lifetime hunt! In 2004, our good friend and fellow firefighter Kelley Cato thought someone was messing with him when he got a phone call saying he had won a Texas Desert Bighorn hunt in the Sierra Diablo Mountains. But come to find out, this opportunity from Texas Parks and Wildlife was as real as they come! In part 1 of 2 of our Texas Bighorn podcast, Kelley sits down with Sam and sets the stage for what would be, and still is the most memorable hunt of his life. This was literally a one in a million shot for him to receive this rare tag, allowing him to hunt this extremely protected species. Kelley talks about what all went into preparing for this hunt, the extreme challenges of hunting Texas Bighorns, and the harshness of the environment these animals call home. It doesn't matter what you yourself are accustomed to hunting... do not skip over this episode, and certainly do not miss part 2 (Episode 62). This is by far one of our greatest podcast conversations and guests to date!
