No guide used on this hunt, It was a family affair. The Desert Big Horn Sheep Society seminar gave us ample information and Gunner Ericson (Az Game and Fish) was very helpful as well. A lot of foot milage and glassing pre season allowed for a very rewarding outcome. While my son (11 yrs.), Brother Kyle and I hiked everywhere, my wife and daughter (14 yrs.) glassed from perspective mountain tops. 11 days of hiking and glassing we saw many sheep, and 6 decent shoot-able class 3 & 4 rams. I was lucky enough to take my first choice.
