2025 Wyoming sheep recommendations

[Johnny05]

Hello all,
I am a Wyoming resident, I am getting enough points to draw in some areas, but not all.

I'm looking for recommendations on a decent hunt area to apply for. I refuse to pay trespass fees, and love the challenge of doing it without an outfitter. I have a pair of horses to help get me further into the tougher country.

Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks John

If its once in a lifetime, put your ego aside and get some help

The horses are a big help. How many points do you have? How much time to hunt and just as importantly scout pre season?
When I drew my Bighorn license in WY my buddy asked me an interesting question. He said" When are you going to draw that license again"? Once in a lifetime for me. So I hired a guide. YMMV Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your suggestions, I was going to apply for area 5, had an awesome friend that was an outfitter and was going to help. He is having health issues and he kindly informed me that he won't be able to go and help teach me the ropes, as it were.
As far as time, I have basically as much time as I want, and almost as much time to scout, which will definitely be a given.
I was just wondering if anyone has any better input on possibly a different area, that may have been producing good rams? Also was looking more for drainages to scout in a specific area to try to cut down on just going for horse rides in some spectacular country.

Thanks John

Unit 5 is a good area, so you must have a lot of points. The best units would require close to max points. Not sure you could do better than 5, unless you know about a specific ram somewhere. Enjoy your hunt, you only get one try at it.

How many points do you have?

I have 20, not sure what the max is these days

I honestly don't know the exact number, but I'm in the lower 20's.
Some of the better areas with very few tags, looks like it requires max points. I was told up the greys river was a great area for a good ram, but very few points given there. I also had some guys tell me that area 4 has some decent sheep in there. I do know to get to the sheep in area 4, you need a total of three days just to scout one day.
