Now if you look up here on the mountain behind me this is the wintering range of the largest herd a big horn sheep, anywhere in the world. Now this area of the Wind River Basin is home to the Shoshone Indians and has been for thousands of years now. And these very animals, they've been crucially important to the subsistence of these people. So much so, that they were nicknamed the sheep eaters. Join myself and Jared Lloyd, as we photograph wildlife in this snow swept landscape of Wyoming.
I'm your host, Doug Gardner, and your wild photo adventure starts now.
