New Mexico Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
In 2012 the New Mexico Legislature created a second Special Bighorn Sheep Permit. Therefore, this will be the second year the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish will auction a special desert bighorn sheep permit AND a special Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep permit. NMDGF is pleased to have selected the Wild Sheep Foundation to auction this permit.

Anyone, including previous special permit holders, may submit a bid to obtain the 2014 special Rocky Mountain bighorn permit unless their hunting privileges have been revoked. The permit may be transferred by the successful bidder to an individual qualified to hunt.
Currently there are 4 Rocky Mountain populations with hunts for the 2014 season, and these populations reside primarily above timberline. The Wheeler Peak Wilderness produced the state record Rocky Mountain bighorn ram in 2005, a 198 4/8 ram. There have been six rams scoring >190 points taken in Wheeler Peak, and more than 50% of the rams taken from this herd have scored higher than the minimum Boone & Crockett record book score of 180. There have been 6 Rocky Mountain B&C bighorn rams harvested in Wheeler Peak during the last 3 seasons.
The successful bidder must select by June 1, 2014 one hunt from any unit open for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep hunting in New Mexico, including: Pecos Wilderness (Unit 45), Latir Wilderness (Unit 53 north of NM 38), Wheeler Peak Wilderness (Unit 53 south of NM 38), or the Culebres Mountains (100% private in Unit 55).

Carmen Island is a privately owned, 60 square mile island in the Gulf of California, near Loreto, Baja California Sur. In 1995 a number of wild sheep were captured and placed upon the island. That same year, Carmen Island was designated as a preserve to provide a protected environment for the O. c. weemsi sub-species of desert bighorn sheep. In 1995 and 1996, 22 ewes and four rams were successfully released on the island. This was a propagation project to place the animals in a protected area with no predators and a anti-poaching program. It has worked quite well. A recent survey of bighorn sheep on the island estimated over 500 animals. This program has been so effective, that sheep have been captured and transferred from the island for release on the peninsula, almost 100 sheep have been released. One permit will be available. After years of a well planed management program, high quality rams have been harvested with an impressive record of 100% success with rifle and bow hunters.
Ground & boat transportation to/from Loreto International Airport to Carmen Island will be provided. Mexican gourmet food & drinks, (3) guides, hunting license, tag, CITES permit, temporary gun importation included. The season runs from October - April, 2014 or 2015. This is a 10 day trip with 8 days of hunting. Additional non-hunting companions are welcome for $250 per day.

Arizona remains the premier state for Mexicana desert sheep and quality rams. Arizona has continues to produce an astonishing number of outstanding trophies; come by our booth to view video of rams still on the mountain. On average more than a dozen make the B&C book every year at least one or more scores better than 180". The 2012 season was another typically great year for Mexicana sheep hunters in Arizona with 18 rams scoring more than 168" , with 11 of those greater than 170". That’s almost 43% of the overall harvest potentially making the book. Four of these majestic rams scored well over 180”. Predictions for the 2013 and 2014 seasons are every bit as bright and there is no finer opportunity than Arizona for taking an exceptional Mexicana desert sheep. Last year, Gustavo Arvelo, the 2012 Arizona Auction Tag buyer, harvested a tremendous ram in August 2012 which green scored 186-4/8". Our 2013 auction hunter, Chris Dianda, took a beautiful 9 year old ram in August, green scoring 180-6/8".
Arizona’s desert sheep country is some of the most picturesque in the West, and an excellent back drop for the desert bighorn sheep hunt of your life. Bighorn sheep are managed very conservatively in Arizona. The winning bidder for this tag will have 365 days to pursue a desert bighorn sheep in Arizona’s best Mexicana sheep units. The units open for this hunt include: 16B, 22 South, 24B, 28 (south of US Hwy 70), 31, 32, 37A, 39 (west of Old Highway 80), 40B, 41, 43A, 43B, 44A, 44B, 45A, 45B, 45C (including the Kofa NWR), 46A, and 46B (including the Cabeza Prieta NWR) as described in Commission Order 29.
Proceeds from the sale of this tag are used to fund on-the-ground bighorn sheep projects like water developments, surveys, habitat enhancements, and highway mitigation research. No administrative expenses incurred by either the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society or the Wild Sheep Foundation come from this sale; it all goes on the mountain. To date, nearly $3,600,000 have been raised with strictly for bighorn sheep management through this auction tag. Without the continued funding provided by these tag funds, Arizona’s bighorn sheep restoration program would be years behind its current success. The Arizona Special Big Game License-Tag is valid for any desert bighorn sheep ram as prescribed in rule R12-4-120, for a 365-day season, August 15, 2014–August 14, 2015.

ALASKA CHUGACH DALL
This spectacular opportunity has been expanded even further for the 2014 season. This special permit area now includes all of the drawing permit areas of the Chugach Mountains in Alaska Game Management Units 13D, 14A, and 14C. With this permit, you can hunt any of these units, including the fabled ‘Ram Valley’ and ‘Falls Creek’ areas within Chugach State Park, areas which haven’t been open for hunting for the last several years.
Harvest strategies in the Chugach have been restructured over the last 6-7 years, and as a result, these areas have been subject to only very limited hunting pressure. Many hunters are reporting complete solitude on their hunts, a situation not experienced since the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s. Imagine pursuing multiple 40+ inch class Dall sheep through glaciers, high cirques, and snowcapped peaks, while walking on generations-old sheep trails by yourself.
During the last two hunting seasons, three sheep were harvested from these areas of the Chugach that reached that magic combination of length and mass to put them over the 170" mark. Several others went into the mid to high 160’s. The guides and hardcore hunters that know this area well insist that even bigger ones made it through the hunting season and the Alaskan winter, and are still out there. This permit gives you the very real possibility to put a ram from this area into the record books. Finally, by purchasing this permit, you are supporting Alaska’s Dall’s sheep research program and making a critical contribution to sheep research and management in Alaska.
A 5% buyer’s premium will be added to the final bid price of each special permit sold, unless prohibited by statute. Proceeds will be dedicated to WSF Conservation Initiatives.

There is something exciting happening in the world of desert bighorn sheep. Long known for its precious few numbers and for its equally precious hunting permits; desert bighorn sheep numbers have been slowly increasing and nowhere is this more true than in Chihuahua, Mexico. This year WSF will offer one tag for this population that was started with the genetics from Tiburon Island. Jose Antonio Vallina a businessman, conservationist, and hunter started Rancho La Guarida in 1982 where he built a beautiful lodge and started developing water sources for the native wildlife. In 2000, he was able to bring in the first desert bighorn sheep and additional sheep were transplanted 2002 and 2003, some from Tiburon Island and some from other sources to increase generic diversity. Originally the sheep were placed in a 10,000 acre ranch that was partially high fenced. Rancho La Guarida has since added another 10,000 acres that are completely open creating a 20,000+ acre eco system for desert bighorn sheep. The lambing success has been exceptional due to the excellent habitat and genetics and now there is a herd of about 300 sheep, with about half of them being rams so hunters can expect to harvest rams in the 175 - 190 category. Desert bighorn sheep taken on Rancho La Guarida qualify for the Boone & Crockett Club Record Book as well as the B&C & WSF Awards Programs as free range, Fair Chase wild sheep. The permit is for December 2015 to March 2016 hunting season. After the hunter arrives in Chihuahua City, everything will be arranged for them in the very finest tradition of Mexican hospitality. the hunt is for 10 days and one companion can join the hunter at the bid price. Additional companions can be included at an additional charge. There are daily nonstop flights from Dallas and Houston into Chihuahua City or there is a landing strip on the property for direct flights into Rancho La Guarida. Experience the finest desert sheep hunt by purchasing this desert sheep hunt!
