In 2025, Colorado Parks & Wildlife opened the first ram hunt in the unit in over 50 years—due in part to research like this.From 71 trail cameras to relentless miles in brutal terrain, Cody shares what it really takes to study and restore one of Colorado’s most iconic species—and what it means for the future of conservation and hunting.
