Bighorn Sheep Hunting

Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) are North American mammals known for their large, curved horns. Two main types exist: desert bighorn in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico, and Rocky Mountain bighorn in the northern U.S. and Canada. Rams are notable for their massive horns, which they use in battles for dominance. Social animals, they live in herds and primarily graze on grasses and shrubs. Conservation efforts protect them from habitat loss and disease. Bighorn sheep symbolize North America’s wild landscapes and ecosystems.
