The Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife has selected WSF to auction a desert bighorn sheep permit. Proceeds will be used to fund ongoing desert sheep management projects including continued radio telemetry studies on three herds and future transplants. The Navajo Nation began managing their sheep in 1996 with a single herd of 34 animals. Today there are three herds of desert sheep on the Navajo Nation and the total sheep population is over 300. The Navajo Nation’s goal is to provide long term, limited, sustainable hunting for tribal and non-tribal members. This permit is for any desert bighorn ram, valid from October 15 - December 31, 2013 The Permit is valid for Big Game Hunt Unit 11. A licensed Navajo Nation Guide is required. The successful bidder will have the opportunity to harvest a mature desert bighorn ram. For more information contact Jeff Cole at jcole@nndfw.org or 928-871-6595.

A 5% buyers premium will be added to the final bid price of each special permit sold, unless prohibited by statute. Proceeds will be dedicated to WSF Conservation Initiatives.
