25 Wyoming Sheep Points

[Bwillig]

I currently have 25 sheep points in Wyoming. As a non resident, I pretty much need to use a guide as most of the areas that I have a shot of drawing are mostly wilderness, except for unit 5. I would love advice on preferred guides, units to consider, and whether or not hunting unit 5 as a DIY hunt could be successful. I am 63 years old, but in good shape. I would love the satisfaction of doing it on my own, with maybe help from someone for safety reasons and a second set of eyes, but don't want to risk being unsuccessful on my one and only chance at a bighorn sheep. TIA

Josh Martoglio and Meade Dominick would be worth your phone call in terms of outfitters. Both very well known for sheep and success. Josh took a couple real giants last fall. Trails west outfitters is Josh, 7d outfitting is Meade.

Ditto.

For region 7, call Dustin Childs with Trophy Mountain Outfitters. Dustin runs a great camp.

I wouldn't hunt with trails west, but absolutely would with Meade.

I totally understand the desire to do a sheep hunt on your own and credit you for that attitude. If you can hunt with a guy like Meade, though, I would really consider it. It opens up a ton of country to you that requires a WY guide, of course. But it’s other things, too. Part of that memorable experience will be the country, the pack trains in the high country, the camp, etc. It’ll be such a neat experience if you can pull it off. Also, speaking from experience, it will be nice to have an experienced sheep hunter there with you. The problem with sheep hunting on your own is that very few of us have any real experience doing it. Looking back on my one shot at it, I can think of a number of things I’d do differently if I had another chance. A guy like Meade will keep you from making those sorts of mistakes with your once-in-a-lifetime tag.

Is 25 points what it takes for a NR to get a sheep tag? (Sorry for derailment)

For most NRs in 2025, it won’t be enough.

Yikes. Thanks for the reply.

Yikes. Thanks for the reply.

Unless you are on the top of the point pool, a NR applicant will likely never draw a sheep tag in Wyoming.
