Desert Bighorn Sheep: Wilderness
Icon is the most comprehensive photographic work on this elusive
symbol of the deserts of the southwest United States and northern
Mexico. Photographer Jeff Young worked for years to assemble tens of
thousands of high quality photographs and assemble them into what is
the finest collection of desert bighorn photos ever published.
Author Mark Jorgensen brings his five decades of experience studying
desert bighorn sheep and managing their habitat to provide the
informative text of this book.
The book’s six chapters
features some 200 high quality photographs featuring rare behavior,
sheep in their rugged desert habitat, ewes nurturing newborn lambs,
and massive rams in stunning ritualized combat for dominance. The
text documents the struggle to provide habitat for the desert
bighorn from Nuevo Leon west to Baja California, Mexico, and from
Texas west to California. Today, well-regulated hunting programs in
the United States and Mexico have generated millions of dollars in
revenue, which has been directed to bighorn management and
conservation programs. |
