Desert Bighorn Sheep — Arizona Draw Hunt

Arizona desert bighorn sheep tags are the most coveted big game tags in North America. The Arizona desert bighorn — a subspecies of Ovis canadensis — thrives in the saguaro-studded canyons and volcanic mountain ranges of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, with mature rams growing massive, deeply curled horns in the 160–175" range. Arizona draws less than 20 desert bighorn tags annually in most units.

Sonoran Desert Outfitters specializes in assisting successful desert bighorn draw hunters. We scout your unit intensively in the months before your hunt, locating resident rams and mapping their seasonal movements. Our guides are former AZGFD wildlife managers with intimate knowledge of Arizona's desert mountain ranges.

Draw odds average 0.5–2% per year depending on unit — most hunters carry maximum bonus points before drawing. We work with clients throughout the application process to identify trophy-quality units and maximize their odds.
