Desert Bighorn Sheep

The dark chocolate razor sharp rocks and various species of thorny cactus that cover much of the mountainous regions of Mexico are home to the elusive Desert Bighorn Sheep. These beautiful dark horned rams live in small secluded herds throughout the Sonora Desert and Baja Peninsula. Our outfitter has been involved with the conservation of Desert Sheep in Mexico for many years and understands how to operate a successful outfitting business. He has outfitted many dedicated sheep hunters to their Grand Slam and Super Slam rams throughout his career. Our outfitter offers hunts on a free range ranch in the Sonora Desert and on the famous Carmen Island.

Carmen Island is a 30,000+ acre paradise located in the Sea of Cortez off the Baja Peninsula. This island sanctuary is home to a healthy population of Desert Bighorn Sheep and many other species of Mexico. To date, every hunter who has hunted the island, including archery hunters, has been successful in taking a trophy Desert Bighorn Sheep. The outfitter utilizes a beautiful hacienda located on the beach front where you will stay every night throughout your hunt. Meals will be prepared by a chef as you relax after a long day of hiking and glassing. Leaving each morning you will travel by foot or by boat to the rugged interior where the rams find shelter and water. These hunts are 10 days with full exclusive access to the island and 100% attention from your 3 guides and staff. Hunt for 8-10 year old rams scoring up to and over 180” Boone & Crockett or a mature management ram from 160-170” Boone & Crockett. After you have harvested your ram you can relax on the secluded beach, snorkel or kayak in the Sea of Cortez, or partake in the world class Billfish and Dorado fishing which is all included in your hunt.
