Desert sheep are huntable in some of the southwestern states, Texas, and Mexico. They are somewhat smaller than their cousins the Rocky mountain bighorn, weighing in around 220 pounds but they still have impressive horns with some being over 3 feet in length. Their horns often look disproportionately large compared to their bodies especially if you are used to seeing Rocky mountain bighorns. They are well adapted to the desert, as they can go weeks without water due as they are able to get enough out of the vegetation they eat.

Desert sheep can be hunted from early August through March depending on the area. In the lower 48, the rut takes place in November through December, and a bit later in Texas and Mexico which coincides with cooling temps which should make for a more pleasant trip if not more opportunities. Also, there often can be different species added to the hunt such as Coues deer, Mule deer, or several other species, so the timing of the hunt can depend on secondary species that a hunter wishes to harvest and what dates those species are in season.
