^Lot 15S TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT: Exclusive TPWD Desert Bighorn Sheep Permit

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt a desert bighorn ram in Texas! This exceptional permit grants one hunter the rare opportunity to pursue a desert bighorn ram on one of three iconic Texas Wildlife Management Areas: Elephant Mountain, Sierra Diablo, or Black Gap. The hunt will last up to ten days or until a ram is harvested, whichever comes first, and will be scheduled between November 15, 2026, and September 30, 2027. This permit is rarely available and typically committed years in advance. One (1) non-hunting companion may accompany the hunter. The hunt will be fully guided by TPWD personnel. TPWD will provide lodging, meals, and on-site transportation. The hunter is required to possess a valid Texas hunting license at the time of the hunt (approximately $315 for a non-resident). The method of take will be rifle, with a required caliber of .243 or higher. The hunter is required to bring their own ammunition. The hunter should be in good physical shape and must be agile/mobile. Transportation to the hunt area is the responsibility of the hunter. The nearest airports are Midland (MAF) and El Paso (ELP), both approximately 3 hours from Alpine, Texas. This hunt is non-transferable. 90% of the proceeds from the sale of this permit will go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Desert Bighorn Sheep Program and will be used exclusively for desert bighorn restoration and management in Texas, with 10% benefiting HSCF and its conservation mission. Don't miss your chance to make history while supporting vital wildlife conservation in Texas. The value of this hunt is PRICELESS! For tax reporting purposes, the hunt is assigned a minimum value of $5,000 to qualify as a tax-deductible donation. HSCF thanks Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for this generous donation.
