Wyoming Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep

Bighorn sheep thrive in Wyoming’s rugged terrain, characterized by steep, rocky cliffs, and expansive alpine meadows. The majority of the sheep are found in the state’s mountainous regions in the northwest part of the state, particularly in the Absaroka, Wind River, and Teton ranges. The altitude and rugged terrain will challenge even the toughest of hunters, but will offer some of the most breathtaking views in the world. Wyoming also has a couple of other areas that offer a much less physical hunt. These areas have much smaller mountains and more road access. These units have less tags available and not as much public ground. Access to private property may increase your odds of harvesting a mature ram.
