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.
Resident and non-residents, if you are fortunate enough to have drawn a Wyoming sheep tag, I would strongly recommend booking with a reputable and proven WTA outfitter. Taking advantage of access to horses and the years of experience the outfitters have in these units, can make all the difference in being successful. With Wyoming reducing the non-resident quota from 20% of the tags to 10%, it has gotten much more difficult to draw a tag as a non-resident. You will need max or near max points to have a chance of drawing one of these coveted tags. Trust WTA’s years of knowledge and network of outfitters to get the most out of your Wyoming sheep tag.
