Expected Cost for a Mexico Desert Sheep Hunt

[mtnhntr86]

I'm booked to go in a couple years, and it's running just over $50k. By the time you get travel, tips, and ancillary costs your approaching a $70k out the door trip.

Shop around if you're really interested and get on cancellation lists - people do have to cancel for a multitude of reasons and being on a short list with some cash on the sidelines is a good way to capitalize on opportunity.

As others have said - I think this trip will end up being on the lower end of the spectrum in a few years. I'm glad I did a couple dall hunts years ago when you could do the whole trip out the door for well under $20k.

It may cost you your life. There's big spike in murders and abductions of tourists in Mexico, recently. I suspect the high prices for Mexican hunts pay off the gangs and cartels to leave the foreign hunters alone. I'm done with Mexico. I'd rather spend my money on a feral goat, or sheep hunt in Argentina, where I think you may get out cheaper and more safe, overall.

Just spent a week on the Seri land in Sonora...did not see but 8 small rams and bunch of ewes. Heading back for another week of hunting tomorrow to hopefully kill a nice ram. Price = $62k. Hunting Tiburon (also Seri land) is $95k. If I had it to do all over, I might opt for La Palmosa in Chihuahua. It's certainly expensive but if you want it, you find a way. I've tried to draw a desert tag for 30+ years in AZ, NV, UT, NM but cannot seem to get drawn. That's why I decided to go.

Was that you who just posted on Facebook that you got your slam ram???

Thanks, I'm writing up a post about the hunt and will add some pics. Too cool of an experience to not share on my favorite gun/hunting forum!

I live 20 min from where the rams are congregated and get to look at them a lot...there's always been really big rams in there, even and especially back in the early 80's. Now there's still a really big ram that pops up every couple years.

We were headed by to go atving and saw the cars stopped. I was amazed. Pretty cool to live so close to some awesome animals. We've seen some massive Muleys and elk this year too (our first year in CO).
