Managing for Resilience: Bighorn Sheep Film and Forum

Join the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation as they co-host “Managing for Resilience: Bighorn Sheep Film and Forum” in the Center Theater Lobby!

Managing for Resilience

This special event offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look at wildlife management through a film screening and face-to-face discussion with experts. The evening aims to foster a dialogue about how management tools, including hunting and targeted ewe harvest, are vital for keeping bighorn sheep populations healthy and resilient against disease.

The evening features:

—A welcome reception with complimentary empanadas and churros from Snake River Roasting Company, plus a cash bar.

—A screening of the short film “Carrying Capacity: The Hunt for Resilience,” focusing on the Jackson and Ferris-Seminoe bighorn sheep herds.

—A presentation by Jackson Game and Fish Wildlife Biologist on local bighorn sheep.

—A panel discussion and Q&A with biologists, wildlife disease specialists, a bighorn sheep hunter, a Wyoming Wild Sheep Foundation representative, and the film’s director.

Whether you’re a long-time hunter or simply care about Wyoming’s wildlife, this is an excellent opportunity to learn more and be part of the conversation.
