Thank you for your interest in Ward’s Outfitters. The desert sheep ranch is a total of 124,000 acres. The sheep live in a mountain range surrounded by flat mule deer country. While on the ranch for only a day and a half we were able to glass up over 35 sheep 5 of which were rams, two of which were over 170 and one pushing the low 180’s. I also talked to the biologist that runs the sheep operation and discussed the numbers and quality, I was granted a rare opportunity to look at the government survey. During a three hour flight over the sheep habitat the government surveyed just over 250 total sheep. They estimate the total population being between 300-350. We are going to book these hunts for a 14 day hunt for $42,000.00 with a $12,000.00 harvest or fatal wound fee. Hunters after 14 days will be afforded the opportunity to hunt longer at a daily rate of $350.00 per day. We are allowing hunters to hunt a total of 90 days . We will be conducting these hunts In January, February and March. For more information feel free to contact me @ 520-404-5114

Tom another outfitter had it last year and didn't pay his balance due so they lost the ranch.
They harvested two sheep last year.
I would be the guide !!!

The sheep live on approximately 80 square miles of the ranch. Some of the areas obviously will be tough for bow hunters , but other areas are good , we have springs and minerals the sheep hit on a regular basis. Mark I am a die hard bow hunter and I'm hear to tell you a avid archer can get it done.
