The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is the provincial mammal of Alberta and the state animal of Colorado. Join the Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta to help with their preservation. Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta
To promote and enhance increasing populations of indigenous wild sheep in Alberta through the funding of programs that support responsible wildlife management, conservation education, youth involvement and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
Bighorn sheep live in large flocks, and do not typically follow a single leader ram. It is during the prerut period that most of the characteristic horn clashing occurs between rams, although this behavior may occur to a limited extent throughout the year.
Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta was started in 1999 and is a proud member of the National Wild Sheep Foundation. WSFA is a member-driven organization that connects hunting guides and outfitters, wildlife researchers, habitat conservationists, sportsmen and women, and the general public. Our two major fundraising events take place in the spring in the communities of Red Deer and Edson Alberta. With continued downsizing of government agencies, more onus is being placed on conservation organizations to initiate, manage and fund wildlife and habitat enhancement programs. Past issues of the WSFA newsletter are posted for your reading enjoyment. Check back often as we update our photo gallery on a regular basis.

On February 28th, 2013 Alberta Fish and Wildlife advised that they would not be moving forward with proposed regulation changes regarding sheep management in Alberta. This is the result of a number of Alberta organizations, including Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta, not supporting changes that would result in lost hunting opportunity until we have been given additional time to look at other options to address concerns regarding decline in number and quality of trophy rams in Alberta. At this point it appears that there will be no changes for the 2013 and 2014 sheep seasons.

Wild Sheep Foundation Alberta was started in 1999 by Gary Bracken, Kelly Sande, John Nylund, Ed Walker, and Darcy Alm. WSFA is proud to be a member of the National Wild Sheep Foundation.

The National Wild Sheep Foundation started as FNAWS with a tradition beginning on a November weekend in 1974 at Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. Thirteen wild sheep enthusiasts passed the time by sharing stories about their encounters with the majestic mountain creatures. After realizing how fortunate they were to have all shared such incredible experiences, they decided it was time to give something back. They formed FNAWS so men and women everywhere could get more involved in the positive management of wild sheep. The commitment and noble spirit of FNAWS quickly helped the foundation become the fastest-growing wildlife conservation organization of its kind.

With continued downsizing of government agencies, more onus is being placed on conservation organizations to initiate, manage and fund wildlife and habitat enhancement programs. WSFA is committed to being included and involved in programs that work toward the goals and mission of FNAWS.

"Together we can Ensure the Future of Wildlife"

Less Than One Club members will be entered into a drawing for a Yukon Fannin sheep hunt donated by Alan Young of Midnight Sun Outfitting and an Alaska Dall's sheep hunt donated by Mike Colpo of Lazy J Bar O Outfitters. Click here for details. Great ideas are often conceived around a campfire amongst old friends - one such idea was conceived by a few dedicated young WSF members who, while recognizing and appreciating those who have had the opportunity to sheep hunt, wanted to create something special to reach out to those who have not been so lucky ... Yet. Aspiring sheep hunters who have not yet fulfilled the lifelong dream of taking their first ram can become members of an exclusive club.
