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.
