I am glad this thread got a reboot. IMO drawing a tag in the lower 48 is becoming more and more difficult and expensive. If you applied for half of the states that have sheep hunting available you would have to front thousands of dollars to just be in the running against terrible odds...
Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society has a raffle for a 15 day Dall and Mountain Caribou combo hunt. Sales end tomorrow and only about 92 tickets left @ $200

I decided to take the leap into sheep hunting in 2019. Covid happens and I was stalled on multiple waiting lists. Fast forward to 22' WSF Sheep week and the prices I was told had doubled. I was at a fork in the road. Go for it or pass? I have seen far too many people exit this world...
Sorry for the delayed response. The hunt went well. Saw goats everyday, however a lot of them were in places that couldn’t safely be reached. I had a few tips on where some Billies were hanging out only to be ghosted. On day 4 I lucked out on this 5 y/o 8” Billy.
I definitely have heard about the goats on Quandary. I’ve also heard a lot of hunters head straight for it. I however will be getting off the beaten path looking for an old grouch of a Billy.
I was fortunate enough to draw a G10 3rd season either sex tag. If anyone has any helpful advice on the unit I.e, scouting pointers, areas that are better or worse, lodging/spiking out, etc…. If there are any other tag holders on here I would love to collaborate and ensure success for all of...
Hey everyone, I’m back with another sheep question for Colorado hunters. Looking at last years draw recap, I notice S6 2nd rifle had a drop off in applicants. Is there a reason for this? I know there is only one tag available, but it seems to average pretty respectable rams. Also, curious...
Don’t let the helicopter deceive you, I’m pretty sure anyone who has been in these hunts would tell you that you will still put the miles on. If I were you I would look at the horse assisted hunts. It might even be worth starting a thread looking for people in similar situations that have...
Sorry I did not see this post until just now. Everyone I have spoken to has said that all of the outfits are accommodating to all levels of fitness and age. Every outfit has had stories of hunters 70+ having successful hunts and the oldest I’ve heard of was 85.
If what you say is factual then it is not slander. You are able to give a review as a consumer.
Making false accusations and publicly posting them as factual would be considered slander and/or defamation.
What class of buck is he looking to go after?
From what you describe his optimal hunt, I would contact Sanger de Cristo Outfitters or Whitaker Brothers Hunting.
Both are top notch and will put him on a smoker deer.
