Bighorn Sheep Hunts
Big sheep hunts are our specialty. Our guides are some of the best sheep hunters in the West. From Utah to Sonora, Mexico our guides put their hands on as many sheep as anyone in the industry.
Some of our Bighorn Sheep units are relatively easy and very accessible with ATV’s. A few of the units are very remote and can be physically demanding. It is key to match the unit you apply for with your expectations of the hunt. With that said, no matter what kind of sheep shape you’re in, we have a fit for you.
We understand how difficult these permits are to obtain and are committed to getting you the most out of your Once-in-a-lifetime Tag. We have a 100% success rate on all our Sheep hunts.
The best areas in Utah for true Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep are Nine Mile Gray Canyon, Nine Mile Jack Creek (previously known as Range Creek), and BookCliffs South Unit (previously known as Rattle Snake). These connecting units are located in the area where we were born and raised. We also hunt the Box Elder, Newfoundland Mountain, Box Elder Pilot Mountain, North Slope Three Corners, North Slope West Dagget, Stansbury, and Antelope Island for California Bighorns.
We hunt all of the Desert Bighorn units in Utah: South San Rafael, North San Rafael, Dirty Devil, Zion, San Juan South, San Juan Lockhart, Pine Valley, Virgin River, Lasal Potash, Kaiparowits Escalante, Kaiparowits West, Kaiparowits East and the Henry Mountains. Many of these Desert Sheep units are located in the area where our Pioneer Ancestors settled and our family have run cattle for over 6 generations. We know the areas very well and continue to spend countless hours scouting and observing rams in these areas. We have guided sheep hunters on many of these areas for over 25 years

Sheep Week. Make sure to scroll to the second picture. We shot this amazing California bighorn and as we set him up for pictures noticed something shining in the rocks. The bullet had passed through the animal and lay in the rocks next to the ram. #luckyfind #wadelemonhunting #wildsheep #sheepshow2019 #bighornsheep #barnesbullets
