That sounds like it would be a tough hunt especially if they spent 20 days in the air and only got 4. Surprised they haven't tried tagging so they can track the herd better. I guess they figure it would be better to just shoot one instead of tag one. A sheep is a once maybe twice in a lifetime hunt so for $1,250 if you are willing to roll the dice who knows. I would plan on at least a 14 day hunt and get a very high powered spotting scope. I would assume that DFG is going to be giving people a good idea of where to look. It will probably be a mad house up there.

The sheep get some type of lung infection and the bios can't cure it so they want them all gone then they will transplant new sheep. I have a buddy up there who shot one last year nothing big.....he told me all about it.

So I would guess it's a open tag all ages and gender? Man if you could pull a sheep off without having to wait 15+ years wow what an accomplishment.
