[QUOTE="jimbo300, post: 207270, member: 9060"] DWK, If you have the sheep bug and have the $; the least expensive hunt at the present is a Dall hunt in AK. Most areas offer tags over the counter with the exception of the TOK, Delta and Chugach Management Areas. Most are in the 10-12K range for a guided hunt. AK law requires non-residents to use a registered guide to hunt sheep. Stone sheep prices have gone through the roof the last few years. It's not uncommon to see Stone hunts in British Columbia going for 25-30K. Of course the Fannin Sheep which reside in the areas of the Yukon will count as a Stone if you dream of collecting all four sheep towards a Grand Slam. The going rate for the Fannin is around 17K at the present. The Rocky and Desert Bighorns found in most Western states are only a draw option, unless you decide to purchase an auction tag for several thousand $$$ at a banquet such as FNAWS annual auction. There are also many raffles through the various state chapters of FNAWS. If you just must hunt a Rocky or Desert in the next year or so you can hunt Rocky's in Alberta for around 25k. Or if you just have to get a Desert you can hunt in Mexico for 50-60K. Sheep hunting is expensive no matter how you look at it, and it's only going to keep going up. Try to put in for as many Western states as your pocket will allow and begin building preference points. Someone has to draw the tag!!! If you don't put in, you will never get a sheep tag. [/QUOTE]
