El MarmelChihuahua 31075 Mexico011-52- PhoneXXX@XXXX is something exciting happening in the world of desert bighorn sheep.Long known for its precious few numbers and for its equally precious hunting permits; desert bighorn sheep numbers have been slowly increasing and nowhere is this more true than in Chihuahua Mexico. This year 1 tag will be issued for this population that was started with the genetics from Tiburon Island Jose Antonio Vallina a businessman and hunter started Rancho La Guarida in 1982 where he built a beautiful lodge and started developing water sources for the native wildlife and in 2000 he was finally able to bring the 1st wild sheep, additional sheep came in 2002 and 2003 €“ some from Tiburon Island and some from other sources. Originally the sheep went to a 10,000 acre ranch that was partially high fence and now the ranch has added another 10,000 acres that are completely open. The lambing success has been exceptional due to the excellent habitat and genetics and now there is a herd of about 250 sheep, with about half of them being rams so hunters can expect to harvest rams in the 175 €“ 190 category. The permit is for December 2013 to March 2014 hunting season. After the hunter arrives in Chihuahua City, everything will be arranged for them in the very finest tradition of Mexican hospitality. The hunt is for ten days and 1 companion can join the hunter at the bid price. Additional companions can be included at an additional charge. There are daily nonstop flights from Dallas and Houston into Chihuahua City. A 5% buyers premium will be added to the final bid price of each special permit sold, unless prohibited by statute.
