Barbary Sheep

No, I'm not going to provide the location on a map where the sheep have a tendency to frequent.  What I can tell you is that we are currently allowing one or two hunts a year, for sheep, according to what is allowable by NM Game and Fish.

Barbary Sheep are a big game trophy hunt, with a tremendous amount of value.  They can bring big money for a land-owner, once a reputation is created about the size of the sheep.  I've been told that we have 'trophy' size sheep on the property.  What I do know is we are careful about who hunts the sheep, controlling the number killed.  The object is to keep the herd, which I have also been told is of a decent size, sustainable.

They are a spectacular creature for photographers.  Finding them is touch and go.  Their special little part of Alamo Canyon Ranch is extremely rugged, with difficult topography. According to a friend, who rents the property for about twenty head of cattle, they are almost impossible to find, they hide so well. He does not like to go into the canyon where they hide, it is so rugged and so dangerous.  Locating them, even for photography or inventory is not for the faint of heart.
