“Hunting wild sheep has taken me places I never imagined I would go and introduced me to some of the most interesting characters this world has to offer. I fell under the sheep hunting spell immediately and as Jack O’Connor once said, “There is no half way. After his first exposure, a man is either a sheep hunter or he isn’t. He either falls under the spell of sheep hunting and sheep country or he won’t be caught dead on another sheep mountain.” Doing my part to help put wild sheep back on the mountain so that others can have a similar experience is the least that I can do.

Who We Are
Montana Wild Sheep Foundation shares the same mission as the National Wild Sheep Foundation - to enhance and promote the state sheep herd populations and to safeguard against the decline and extinction of the species. Additionally, the chapter is committed to assist in funding various projects for professional management of these sheep populations throughout the state of Montana as well as sheep populations in all of North America. Essential projects involving conservation, habitat, management improvement and sheep population and propagation are actively funded by the Montana WSF.
What we do
The Montana Wild Sheep Foundation raises $ annually from private donations, our annual fundraiser, and membership fees to work on specific projects we have earmarked each year, as part of our 5 year plan.
