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.

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.

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 UTVs. The 7-day, free range hunt is planned for late 2020 or early 2021. If necessary, dates can be moved pending availability. If Travel Bans are in place, outfitter will work with successful bidder to reschedule.
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.
