Annual Ram Recognition and Sheep Clinic

Celebrating Success, Sharing Knowledge, and Strengthening Conservation

The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society hosts its Annual Ram Recognition and Sheep Hunters’ Clinic each year to bring together hunters, conservationists, and community members. This event is both a celebration of sheep hunting achievements and an educational opportunity for anyone passionate about Arizona’s wild sheep.

Why This Event Matters

Funds raised from the clinic and banquet directly support ADBSS’s conservation projects — including water catchments, habitat restoration, herd monitoring, and advocacy. By attending, you help ensure the long-term survival of Arizona’s desert and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.
