Choosing the right outfitter in Mexico is imperative!

The Mexico hunts we offer are through outfitters who have continued to stayed consistent, providing our hunters with excellent hunts. Please DO NOT book with an outfitter without consulting us first.

Sonora, Mexico has Guaranteed Sheep Tags on Well Managed Ranches
Our outfitters have to submit a biological survey to game and fish officials every season as part of the process. Mexican officials then issue tags based on the results. Based on these surveys, they recieve very limited tags on a per-ranch basis. Because of this system, trophy quality remains high and you can expect to be hunting mature, seven year old and older rams that will go 155-170+ inches.
Mexico desert bighorn sheep hunting offers hunters an exceptional opportunity to pursue one of North America’s most prized and elusive game animals. The desert bighorn, known for its impressive, spiraled horns and resilience in harsh landscapes, is found primarily in Mexico’s Sonoran Desert, where populations are carefully managed and conservation efforts have led to a healthy resurgence of this magnificent species. With exclusive access to private hunting ranches and prime habitats, Mexico has become one of the top destinations for hunters seeking trophy desert bighorn rams.
While the mountain ranges in Sonora, Mexico look rough, they are low in elevation. Most likely you will be glassing from roads down on the flats, or hiking up to vantage points that offer good glassing. Compared to sheep hunting anywhere else in the world, a Mexico desert bighorn sheep hunt might seem “cushy,” but that doesn’t mean that it’s not going to be strenuous. You may need to hike up to glass from a knob, or make a stalk. Working out enough that you’re in “sheep shape” prior to your hunt is recommended.
