ADBSS

The Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society

Dedicated to the Conservation and Population Enhancement of Bighorn Sheep in Arizona.

Attention!

We apologize for the confusion around the disposition of the state of Arizona Game and Fish Commissioners’ Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tag.  This tag will be raffled by our partner organization, the Wild Sheep Foundation.  The raffle sales will commence on May 15th and the deadline to enter will be June 30th, 2025.   We thank all those who are interested in this tag, and we expect this special raffle to raise a significant amount of money for bighorn sheep conservation in Arizona.
