Hunt supplied by San Jose Trophy Hunts in Sonora, Mexico. This is a free-range Desert Sheep hunt and takes place in the San Jose Mountain Range about one hour Northwest of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. The winning hunter will be treated to an over-the-top lodge and guiding staff and will hunt out the back door of the lodge on the main San Jose “hog back” and satellite peaks. The range is classic desert sheep habitat, rough limestone craigs, caves and arroyos dotted with mesquite bush, buffel grass and saguaro cactus. It is common to see mature rams daily. There are very nice rams to be found. Rams range from the 160’s to the low 170’s. While a week of hunting is the normal planned trip, hunters can stay until they take a ram, up to the end of the license year. The permit is valid season long Nov. to the end of March. The hunt includes necessary permits, a guide, and the export costs of the sheep. The hunter will need to supply the outfitter with a copy of his passport and any written health requirement needed at the time of the hunt (check current Covid related requirements prior to traveling). Hunter will also need a 4457 receipt (proof of firearm ownership receipt issued by US Customs). The hunter may take one non hunter along as an observer at no additional fee. The ram will be caped out at the ranch and delivered to a taxidermist in Hermosillo for drying, skull cleaned, and horns plugged by Sonora wildlife authorities. The Desert Sheep in Mexico is a CITES 11 species and CITES will send a permit into the local game authorities who will add the hunters name and contact to the CITES permit which is good for one export from Mexico and one import to a CITES participating country. US, Canada SA, Europe, and Africa are all CITES nationals.
