Win a Desert sheep hunt in Sonora, Mexico, with Sierra El Alamo valued at $75,000.

The Javier Artee family is proud to continue its longstanding partnership with the Wild Sheep Foundation in restoring free-ranging desert bighorn sheep to their historic range in Sonora.

Established in 2017, Sierra El Alamo encompasses more than 80,000 acres of rugged desert sheep habitat. Located approximately 160 miles south of Tucson, Arizona, 180 miles north of Hermosillo, and 30 miles east of the Sea of Cortez, the ranch has become one of the premier destinations for desert bighorn conservation and hunting.

Thanks to dedicated wildlife management and conservation efforts, the desert bighorn population is healthy, thriving, and continuing to grow. Following a 12-year hunting closure, desert bighorn sheep hunting was successfully reinstated in the area in 2017, marking a significant conservation milestone and helping ensure the long-term sustainability of the herd.

This hunt represents more than an opportunity to pursue one of North America's most sought-after trophies—it is a chance to experience firsthand the conservation success made possible through partnerships between landowners, hunters, and organizations committed to the future of wild sheep.
