Understanding Big Horn Sheep with Carlos Gallinger - Ep 97

Carlos Gallinger has spent a lifetime studying the habits of the Bighorn Sheep in order to understand the people that live with, and off, off them. For example, it’s not feasible to take down a Bighorn sheep ten miles from your family. You need to be where the sheep are and understand them. Native people had this ability and Carlos wants to understand that ability.
