Non-res ram

[Will_m]

Anybody familiar with states that don't mandate a guide for a non-resident sheep hunt, or does such a thing even exist? I also understand a lot of the lower 48 are mostly once in a lifetime deals, but...seems like they would be the only option for a non-res to do such things sans guide.

Montana has an unlimited sheep hunt that doesn't require a guide. It's pretty rough terrain from what I understand.

No guide required in OR, but drawing odds are real steep! I don't think a guide is required in any of the lower 48 though, except WY wilderness or maybe some private! Good luck with getting a tag, we all need it

Yeah, seems like everything involving sheep is steep. Terrain, odds, difficulty, but that's what makes it so attractive, right?

Might as well make it even more fun and take a bow.

The only way to get around the guide requirement here in AK is to hunt with a 2nd degree kindred relative that is a resident.

Or live here for 12 months and do what ever you want after that.

Nevada does not require a guide for sheep.

Everybody is spot on..

I believe TX (free guide), AK (guide or close relative), and WY wilderness (guide or resident friend with hunting license) are the only states that require a guide..

So in actuality no state "requires" a guide..

Canada & Mexico do require a guide..

Not really true for AK. It might be semantics from your perspective but there is a Guide Requirement. However, the Guide Requirement can be fulfilled by a 2nd degree kindred relative with a valid hunting license AND must be within 100yds of the non-res when they shoot. Also, some Sheep draws require a signed client-guide agreement when applying for the draw.
