California desert sheep tag guide?

[Deleted member 8-15-23]

After 38 years I drew a ca. Sheep tag!!!!!! Literally crying right now. Once in a lifetime draw. Any outfitter suggestions? It's a late August, 14,000 foot hunt. Thx, and walking on air now!!!

Only tip I have is look below 14,000 feet. There’s zero sheep at that elevation in CA. Good luck!

Huge congrats man!

For the record, these ewes were right at within a couple hundred feet of 14000 ft near the summit of one of California's 14'ers.

The boys were hanging out at 11600 though

If you’re in good shape that’s a pretty awesome unit to do DIY.

I don’t have any helpful info to add but as a fellow California hunter I really hope you post up follow ups of how the hunts go!

Congrats and goodluck on both tags!

Will do, feel confident about both. Trying for both net book. Just love getting my whites sheep after 38 years.

Will do. Head is spinning, both open 8/19...ram first, then cruise up hwy 395. Recover, then dive into a huge bow mulie.

Picked the right guide. He just booked 3/6 tags. Tuffest sheep hunt on the continent. Base camp@12,800. Still 12 feet of snow. I have complete confidence in this guy. Bought a new 6.5prc for this hunt. Training hard for this@65. 1 guy died last year doing this hunt.

Damn. What happened? (Did he fall off a cliff? Altitude sickness, etc.). Was it one of your guide's clients?

He was prescouting, alone. Other guides found him.
