Information about Bighorn Sheep Hunting

About Bighorn Sheep: Bighorn Sheep are named for the large, curved horns borne by the males, or rams. Females, or ewes, also have horns, but they are short with only a slight curvature. They range in color from light brown to grayish or dark, chocolate brown, with a white rump and lining on the back of all four legs.

Bighorn Sheep graze on grasses and browse shrubs, particularly in fall and winter, and seek minerals at natural salt licks. Bighorns are well adapted to climbing steep terrain where they seek cover from predators such as coyotes, eagles, and cougars. They live in large herds, but do not automatically follow a single leader ram.

Bighorn Sheep Hunting information:

Sheep hunters have a worldwide reputation as some of the toughest hunters in the business.

A large bighorn sheep scores over 200 points!

Trophy sized sheep are found all the way from Mexico to Canada.

No matter where you hunt, sheep hunting is tough, now add snow, steep shale, high winds and sub-zero conditions and the hunt becomes downright deadly.

Bighorn Sheep hunting is done with mainly pack horses or on foot. Most Bighorn sheep hunts occur in August and September and are primarily spot and stalk. You should always take the very best spotting scopes and binoculars as spotting the sheep can be difficult.

Bighorn sheep can be found in rocky gorges and in the timbered foothills as well as the highest mountain peaks.

This is truly a hunt of a lifetime, for the rugged hunter that is looking for a challenging pursuit of the premiere big game trophy.

Bighorn sheep grow up to six feet in length. Bighorn sheep live up to 12 years. Bighorn sheep rams can weigh as much as 300 pounds.

Rocky Mountain bighorns live in the grassy alpine of the Rockies, usually at altitudes of 5,000 to 10,000 feet.

A little more information about the subspecies of Bighorn sheep:

* Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep [ovis canadensis] inhabit western areas of Alberta and British Columbia (in the Rocky Mountains) in Canada. It also is found in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

* Dall sheep [ovis dalli dalli] lives in the remote mountain regions of Alaska, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. It has a beautiful pure white coat.

* Desert Bighorn Sheep [ovis canadensis nelsoni] resides in the desert regions of Arizona, California, Utah, Colorado Texas, Nevada and New Mexico. Their habitat extends into the Baja California and Sonora, Mexico region. Populations of the Desert Bighorn Sheep are very limited, so it is very difficult to draw a tag for this game animal.

* Stone sheep [ovis dalli stonei] live in the mountain regions of British Columbia and the Yukon Territories of Canada.

i just completed Rick's 2 week big game guide school and I'm completely satisfied with the training I recieved. Nothing fancy about Rick or his school. Just thorough and well taught courses. The man is a good teacher with a personal interest and concern for each student to sucseed as a professional guide. I'm going back next year(God willing) to take the packing segment of the training.

Rick is an awesome outfitter. He runs probably the best Guide and Pack School in the west. Besides Rick being a great guy, he is also a good friend. Words don't put in perspective the quality of outfit Rick operates.

My brother and I drew mule deer tags for the area that Rob lives in. We went for a scouting trip in the area and met Rob. We booked a a five-day hunt for later in the season. The price was very good and we worked out what would make us happy as far as hunter guide relationship. We showed up the day before we were going to start hunting. Rob was there to greet us and introduce us to his two guide helpers. Rob did everything that he said he would do and more. He would meet us each day and take us out either individually or together. He found us deer to choose from each day and let us decide if we wanted the deer or to keep hunting. We ended up getting two four-point bucks that we were happy with. Hunting with Rob was very pleasurable. He was willing to take the extra mile every time.

In June of 2005, I received my "Once in a Lifetime" Nevada bull elk tag. After talking to a half a dozen guide services across the state, I chose to go with Nevada Outfitters. When I talked to master guide Rob Wallin, the first thing I noticed was his shear enthusiasm for my hunt. His sub-guides, Scotty and Royce, are both excellent at scouting for, and finding, big game. When I arrived in camp I found the accommodations to be first class. From the warm, spacious trailer to the exceptional meals, everything was taken care of. When it comes to the actual hunt, you won't find a more determined and professional group of guys. While the other hunters that we encountered were frustrated at not finding any elk, my guides were putting me on over 100 animals in just the first day. On day 2 we had a nice six point on the ground and Louie, a master guide from Alaska, went to work caping, dressing, and boning out the huge bull. When I took the meat into G & M Processing the butchers were very impressed with Louie’s handy work. The guy really knows his stuff. If you’re serious about hunting, I suggest you give Nevada Outfitters a call. They truly are a top-notch outfit.

After waiting 14 years I drew a California Bighorn tag, a dream that started when my Grandson Justin was 9 years old. With every year that passed we gained one year in age. Now 62 years young and my grandson older, a seasoned hunter, more able to appreciate what had just become a long-time dream. Tom Clark introduced me to Rob Wallin from Nevada Outfitters. I wanted more than just kill an animal. I wanted the experience of hunting with my grandson, to learn more about the animal and its habits, and most of all, not to be treated as a grandmother. I worked hard at getting into shape and I wanted the complete experience of the hunt. My every wish was fulfilled, Rob’s enthusiasm, made the hunt more enjoyable than I could have asked for, the accommodations were great, the food wonderful, and my every need was taken care of. We saw many bighorn sheep and never was I pressured to “take” any animal. The choice was mine! Rob knew the territory, the habits of this animal, and his excitement made me feel like I was his first client. I ended up getting one of the largest California Bighorn sheep ever taken out of the area that I drew. I was able to have my grandson beside me when I took my sheep. And what I learned will be with me forever. I recommend Nevada Outfitters, Rob, and his crew. They will make your hunt ----- THE HUNT OF A LIFE TIME!
