Big Horn Sheep Hunts

We hunt two of the few remaining areas of North America where Big Horn Sheep permits are available on an unlimited basis in areas 300 and 501. Licenses must be purchased by May 1, but are guaranteed to all who properly apply. We offer two hunts, which have continued to give us one to several rams each year. The areas are very rugged and difficult to hunt. If your physical condition is above average and you're willing to hunt hard your odds are above average. Mountain Goat can be combined with sheep hunts if a goat permit is drawn.

Unlimited Permit Access:  Hunt in areas 300 and 501, two of North America's few remaining locations where Big Horn Sheep permits are available on an unlimited basis (must purchase by May 1).

Proven Success Record: Our two hunt options consistently yield one to several rams each year for hunters willing to put in the effort.

Challenging but Rewarding Terrain: While the hunting areas are extremely rugged and demanding, hunters in above-average physical condition who are prepared to hunt hard enjoy above-average success rates.
