Description

This is a 10 day 1:1 Bighorn sheep hunt. Since 1998 this outfit has guided over 157 sheep trophy hunts, and we have obtained a success rate of 100% in most years. The average age of the rams was 9.5 years, and the average score was in the mid-to-high 160’s. This outfit strives to harvest great trophies – not just any ram. They are dedicated, and we will never encourage a client to shoot simply to take a shot. Instead, they will work to harvest a ram that excites the hunter. They have built their business on the success and satisfaction of our clients – and our track-record of acquiring great rams is based on our superior skillset. This is a wilderness horseback hunt. This outfit specializes in hunting areas 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. These are the areas where they spend their time hunting shed antlers and guiding pack trips in the spring and in the summer. This also overlaps the areas where they guide for trophy hunts for mountain lion, deer, elk, and sheep in the fall and in the winter. Areas 1 – 5 have the reputation as some of the most rugged, yet rewarding, hunting terrains in North America. Learning where the sheep live, how they move, and how to reach them, requires patience and years of experience that is perfected through mistakes and blunders. Thanks to many of the latter, combined with our work-ethic, we maintain a current knowledge base of the natural changes that occur in that tricky terrain. These sheep guides are dedicated professionals who are committed to hunting with an in-depth knowledge of these sheep areas. This outfit is proud of their guides, and have handpicked them for their work-ethic, backcountry skills, pleasing personalities, and their sincere desire to harvest trophies.

Hunter should be prepared for heavy hiking in steep rocky terrain for this hunt. More physically fit will provide for more shot opportunity If you hunt for the duration of the trip and you are physically in good form, and but you are willing to cooperate with the guide and do not get a shot at a quality bighorn sheep, then the outfitter we will offer six days of complimentary hunting at a later date. If you are unable to hunt the duration of the trip or should you wound a quarry or miss a well-staged shot then the outfitter will offer additional days of hunting at a later date for a fair day-rate. Outfitter reserves time each October for these scenarios.

Transportation (To/From Basecamp)
