Sounds like a boys trip is in order for some of the LRH clan. Should ask daddy (Len) to hook us up with some contacts.

Try Hidden Creek Outfitters out of Cody Wyoming. Bill runs an operation out of west Texas also. They take some fine sheep every year there. In fact, there are numerous pictures on his website and Facebook page.

I've seen several adds on Facebook can't remember the names on any.
Are they decent tablefare ? I've always thought about doing it as an affordable way to get an exotic animal being from the frozen tundra known as ND. We can't shake winter at this point pretty depressing. Haha

Mike at westtexashunt. He's a good guy. Hunted with him last year and had a great time and great success!! Let me know if you need another hunter to fill camp!!

This +1000. I hunted Aoudad with WTH this past January at Devils River. Mike runs a first class operation.

They probably wouldn't be bad if you slow cooked them in a croc pot or made sausage. I've tryed grilling backstraps a few times and the meat was just to tough to even chew.

I've ate a bunch of ewe's when I was managing a ranch near Del Rio Texas.

They were fine, but the rams are another story. I killed a nice ram on a drawing DIY ;hunt this past January. Made summer sausage out of him...eats great!

Here he is;

Good sheep can be had in several spots. We have a good sheep numbers in the Barksdale area(western hill country), and also in the Ft Davis area--that's where we hunt them the most. I know a lot of the property is now leased up. The days of shooting for little of nothing have passed--wish the numbers were as high now 25 years ago when I was young. I have helped a number of guys on this site and others get a sheep. I tell them first--it will not be cheap, and you will get your sheep--some of my suggestions will outstrip your budget a bit--but if I were you I'd hit up Cody Roberts-at Lajitas resort--- 512-944-3828 pretty good sheep down there...he will be more than $3500 but less than 5k...I have some other options too

My daughter and I got these two rams last week. We hunted with Wildlife Systems near Marathon,TX. We had a great time!

Try the Fort Davis area, this guys have access to several ranches. I grew up in Alpine Texas and the terrain here is very rugged as well as breath taking. This guys also know what they are doing. Regardless, you have a couple of good recommendation to choose from.
