Idaho Bighorn Sheep Hunting
Idaho has some great Rocky Mountain Bighorn and California Bighorn sheep hunting.
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep are found in the stereotypical mountain country, and California bighorns can be found in the high desert country of Southern Idaho. California bighorn sheep count towards your Rocky Mountain for those of you going for you Sheep Slam.
How to get an Idaho bighorn sheep hunting tag:
- You can apply through the annual Idaho Fish and Game lottery. You must buy a hunting license and apply during the month of April.
- Each winter Idaho auctions off a statewide sheep tag at the national Wild Sheep Foundation convention. It usually sells between $30,000 & $120,000. (Unit 11, considered the best sheep tag in Idaho, is excluded every other year.)
- Idaho offers an annual raffle for a statewide sheep tag administered through the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation. (Unit 11 is excluded every other year.)
