NWT Wildlife Sketches, Dall's Sheep of the Northwest Territories (GNWT, 1992)
This educational sketch describes Dall's sheep of the Northwest Territories, covering their distribution, physical characteristics, social behavior, reproduction, habitat requirements, and management status. The document notes that while current hunting pressure appears light relative to the estimated population of 15,000-20,000 sheep in the Mackenzie Mountains, future development poses risks through disturbance and disruption of critical range.
