Where the Big Horn At?

We're doing some research on Big Horn Sheep this summer; and part of that work is to put up motion activated cameras at our water catchments. But before we jump into the wilderness we wanted to decide which locations would provide us with images we are looking for.

I present,
'Water Catchments, Cameras, Sheep!'

What I really like about this map is there is very few layers that are used. Layers needed include selected and and buffered slopes greater that 60% (sheep escape terrain), find the Federal 'Wilderness' data layer for the region, and waters for the survey area. Easy! Now were going to sit down and figure out the best place to put up our cameras. I wanted to get this map out quickly, so the legend does lack those finishing touches of a production grade map--but my layouts are getting cleaner!
