HUNTnTAT2 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 So the other day I was at the vet because my dog had to have surgery and when I went to pick her up to take her home. I was wearing a kuiu jacket. And over heard an older gentleman mention something aabout a desert bighorn hunt. He paid and walked out of the clinic about 5-10 minutes before me. When I walked out he asked about my jacket. I asked him about what he was talking about inside. To find out he has the sheep hunt in 45c Castle Domes. We chatted up ip for about 20 minutes about prior hunts. I asked him if he hired a guide. He said no. Asked him if he had alot of help. No. Just him and his sick dad. I offered to help out on the hunt. We exchanged numbers and he said he could use all the help he could get. Ive never been in 45c. Im blind as a bat to the unit. But can glass animals. Never been on a sheep hunt. And would love to get the experience. Any help from any forum members that have had experience on thus hunt would be greatly appreciated. I firmly believe in helping others just for the heck of it! Ill be going out on his hunt next weekend. If he doesn't tag out this weekend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I'd love to go look for sheep but unfortunately have zero time available. I'd bet there are some Yuma area members of this site that are VERY savvy on this unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I can give you the number of a guy I know that lives in Yuma and hunts that area a lot. Said his friends live to help guys kill sheep in those units and do it just for fun. Pm me if you want to talk to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WampusCat Report post Posted December 17, 2015 If I was home I'd be there in a heart beat. I have seen several nice rams in the Castle Domes. I have even spotted them from the few roads in the unit while passing through. Some Yuma boys will surely help. If you don't get a crew together hit me up and I can give you some starting points. KOFA also puts out basic maps that list many of the water catchments. Good luck to him and you if you get the chance. Post some pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HUNTnTAT2 Report post Posted December 20, 2015 As of right now. He is unable to even go on the hunt. His dad has fallen ill. And his dog is not doing well either. He said he will contact me if plans change. Hope all works out for his situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted December 20, 2015 If the tag is for this year and he's not gone go you should ask him to donate it! Just less than 2 weeks to hunt! Hopefully he gets a ram down but if not I'm sure a kid or vet would love the tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
