The best places in the country to hunt big game

Big game hunters search far and wide to find their next trophy. Here are the very best places to hunt big game in the United States.

Oregon’s high desert – Bighorn Sheep - Bighorn sheep are one of the rarest game mammals and thought to be one of the most expensive game of all. Oregon’s bighorn sheep hunts are a once in a life time tag. The odds of drawing are very slim, with some applying year after year with no luck. Guides often use horses and mules to get you in and out of the rough sheep country and hunters need to be in decent physical condition. River area hunts also offer transportation by raft. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife captured and relocated California bighorn sheep at several locations in 2014 to improve genetic diversity among herds. The population of bighorn sheep has grown to an estimated 3,500-3,700 as a result of ODFW’s aggressive restoration efforts.
