Description

This is a 1:1 fully guided 7 day hunt. This is a great hunt for those who prefer traditional backcountry sheep hunting. Hunter will stay at a spike camp in the mountains and hunt daily from there. These areas hold big rams averaging 160-180" Boone and Crocket. Hunter should be prepared for heavy backcountry hiking. This is a draw only hunt. Successful draw requires max points for many areas. Many of these hunts are preformed in wilderness areas where vehicle travel is prohibited. Depending on the unit drawn, sheep can see a lot of pressure, pushing sheep to isolated areas in very rough terrain. Options to use horses may be possible depending on what unit is drawn with no extra charge.
