You'll also see First Nations, sport and commercial fishing that are closely monitored by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.
Filmmaker Leon Lorenz has spent more than 2 decades in the wild filming rare animal behaviors for these programs. It is with deep determination and hard work that each film is produced. It is one thing to spot wildlife from a distance, but quite another to capture close and exciting rituals seldom seen by humans. In order to capture such footage Leon has to climb the steep Canadian Rocky Mountains often with a 70 pound pack, endure cold weather and deep snow in the winter and fight off mosquitoes and flies in the summer. Sometimes for days he will hide in a blind to get certain difficult shots and at times face sudden and close grizzly bear encounters. These are all taken in stride as hard work and patience are intergal aspects of being a successful Canadian wildlife filmmaker. When one of Nature's rare and exciting moments finally unfolds in the camera's viewfinder it makes all the hardships worthwhile.

Bighorn Showdowns - DVD Volume 3
First of its kind to cover all the behaviors of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep.
"This is the most educational and entertaining film on the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep."
— Neil Thagard, Wild Sheep Foundation
One of the most exciting rituals in all of nature is the annual rutting season of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. Filmmaker Leon Lorenz takes you off the beaten track of Jasper National Park and into its wilderness areas to film their unique behaviors. He also takes you into Cadomin, Alberta where some of the largest rams live. Watch close and exciting wild action as they engage in spectacular confrontations.
On cliffs the 18 month old yearlings display a "catch me if you can" attitude as they literally run circles around the mature rams which are in pursuit of the ewes. Their agility and youthful energy make for very exciting chases. See rams being rolled over, tee-boned down mountains, knocked over cliffs, coyotes interacting with a herd of sheep and so much more.
This video is the first of its kind to cover all the behaviors of the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep throughout the rutting season. It truly brings out the strength, finesse and majestic beauty of these animals. All age groups will find it very entertaining and educational.
