deserthunter23 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Well,After years of putting in I drew a sheep tag in unit 15D.I am so stoked(and thankful) As like alot of folk in our great US of A the economy has stung a little for the last few yrs,not griping we are all in it.I dont know if I can afford a guide so was hoping for any info anyone would like to share.Have already had some great responses from fellow members here ,thank you for that!Anyway am very respectful of a persons private honey holes ,but since sheep is a once in a lifetime,anyone whos done this already ,any info would be greatly appreciated.Also not looking for a substitute for worn boot leather,I do plan on scouting as many times as possible between now and December.Good luck to all who drew any tags this year ,Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.smith Report post Posted July 18, 2010 The unit WM should contact you before long. If you don't hear anything or if you want to get a jump on it email Gunnar Erickson at the Kingman office. GErickson@AZGFD.gov He's a great guy and will be able to point you in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Congrats on the tag! Definitely contact Gunnar. Also be sure to plan on attending the ADBSS seminar, you should be hearing from them. Best of luck on a once in a lifetime experience. Don't stress too much. Regards, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noel Arnold Report post Posted July 18, 2010 My brother had the tag about three years ago and went without a guide.He hunted with a bow for most of the hunt and got shots.He finally picked up the rifle and shot a 155.We never had problems finding good rams to stalk.There is a big mesa on the south end of unit that is a big walk,but has big sheep.As long as you are good at glassing,then you do not need a guide on this hunt.
