The Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF) is pleased to announce that the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has authorized the sale of one Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep permit during the WSF 2023 Convention.
Currently, this is a once in a lifetime permit and is an excellent opportunity to hunt a quality ram in the Pine Ridge or Wildcat Hills escarpments of Nebraska’s Panhandle. All previous permit holders have harvested rams in the mid 170s with 3 scoring in the low 180s, two 190s and a 2021 ram scoring 201 5/8. Nebraska carries an impressive 100% success rate. The successful bidder will receive guide service from Nebraska Game & Parks staff, and the option of up to four days and nights of meals and lodging at Historic Fort Robinson State Park. The bighorn sheep season extends approximately 25 days running November 28 – December 22, 2023. There will only be one other person licensed to hunt sheep during this season.
The permit will be valid on any public land or private land (with owner’s permission) within the defined unit. Private landowners may require an access fee. The permit is valid for any sheep and is non-transferable. An orientation session is required before hunting. This session will be scheduled by prior arrangement before the hunt. In addition, the permit holder is required to purchase a Nebraska habitat stamp ($25.00) which is to be carried with the permit. All processing and trophy preparation is the responsibility of the permit holder. A family member or guests may accompany you on the hunt with pre-approval from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
The Permit continues to raise significant funds for Nebraska’s bighorn sheep management program. Proceeds go toward multiple bighorn sheep conservation projects. For further information about this permit and details about the hunt, please call: Todd Nordeen at (308) 763-2940.
