Or for our northern cousins, what Province?

So far I'm thinking Colorado, Montana and maybe Idaho......... ::-k

Idaho, for California Bighorn (subspecies of the Rocky).

Maybe Montana for one of the Unlimited Bighorn Hunts.

living in the U.S can we apply for dall sheep or stone sheep? i think you can in alaska for dall maybe? but can we apply anywhere for stone in canada say? or do we have to go on a guided hunt for one?

I asked Makwa more or less the same question the other day, for Canada.......
Quote: Hiker..........as a non-resident you are required to use a guide. Guides are on quota, so you do not have to enter a draw even if it is a draw area for residents. If you book with an outfitter you are guranteed a licence.

In Alaska we as Non_residents can apply in the draw for a Dall but we must purchase a Alaska hunting license first. As NR we also must hire a guide to hunt sheep, goat and Grizzly-Brown Bear, unless we have immediate family who are AK residents and they will be hunting with us.

Hiker, i'm not exactly sure. would have to see last years odds. i'm assuming it would be about 12:1 or so.

Hiker · Joined: 23 Jun 2005 Posts: 1259 Location: Colorado

12:1 is pretty good odds. showtimebc, I hope you are blest with a tag this year. :D

Is it possible to get a slam in BC? I know you have Dall, Stone, Bighorn but what about a desert? Does a Fannin count as a Dall or Stone or are they by themselves in the slam? Thanks

I'm almost certain that a Fannin counts as a Stone for the most part. Grand Slam Club says that if the Fannin only has a small amount of dark hair on the tail or legs the owner may count it as a Dall. If the dark hair is on the body or there is significant amount of dark hair it is a Fannin which may be substituted for a Stone for Slam purposes.

Thanks Snowman. That makes sense.

Yes a Fannin counts as a stone sheep. In BC you can take California bighorn, rocky mountain bighorn, stone and dall...................both the Calif. and Rocky Mtn bighorn are in the same category...............so you still have the elusive desert bighorn to get for a grand slam. That requires great luck in the draw or a lot more disposable income than I have.

Colorado's applications are due by 4/3/07 and can be done online for residents but Non-Residents will need to apply by paper and the apps need to be postmarked by 4/3/07.
