Desert Bighorn Sheep Permits

Still one of the most sought after big game species in the West, a Desert Bighorn sheep tag is tough to obtain no matter what! With the high costs of hunting free-range, high fence, or semi-free-range sheep in Mexico, we found it may be in your best interest to consider a Desert sheep hunt in the U.S. Most of the time these permits come with an extremely high chance of success and great trophy potential. We update this list as often as possible and are always available to visit with you about these opportunities. 435-865-1020
