This spectacular hunt is back for the 4th year at NBU’s auction. Don’t miss this opportunity to hunt giant Desert Bighorn Sheep through La Palmosa Outfitters in Cuatrocienegas, Coahuila, Mexico. The 100,000 acre La Palmosa Ranch is the result of a vision to restore native wildlife to the Chihuahuan desert of northern Coahuila and non-game species and to enhance and protect and the biodiversity of native flora and fauna. A 16-inch base is common, with most rams taken between 36-40 inches and lightly broomed. You could realistically expect to see rams that range from 174” to 182”.
La Palmosa encompasses 156 square miles of spectacular desert, mesa and mountain topography ranging from 4,200’ to 8,600’ in elevation. Ranch headquarters is an immaculate five-star lodge with individual casitas lavishly appointed with exceptional artwork and Sante Fe-inspired antique furnishings for the enjoyment of family and friends. The quality of the rams is only outdone by the wonderful accommodations and staff.
Spanish hospitality, plush lodging, gourmet Mexican cuisine, and a recently completed spa elevate the comfort level on this trophy desert bighorn sheep hunt. The successful bidder will enjoy world-class accommodations, including private villas for all guests, meals by a full-time chef, a private spa, and a lodge with bar, poker and pool tables, and two dining rooms. Transportation during the hunt will include Jeeps and UTV’s. The 7-day, free range hunt is planned for February 9th - 16th, 2020. If necessary dates can be moved pending availability.
The hunt includes up to TWO non-hunting guests. Hunt includes trophy fees, CITES fees, exportation brokerage fees to the US, and shipping of your trophy anywhere in the US. Helicopter pickup at the airport is available as an add on.
The winner of 2017’s auction hunt took a great ram scoring 182 2/8; the previous year’s winner harvested another great ram that scored 179 1/8; and NBU member Dennis Sites harvested an extraordinary ram that scored 188 2/8”.
For a first-hand reference, please speak to NBU Director Tom Fennell, who went as a guest in 2017.
