TRANSPORTATION:
We will provide transportation
to and from the closest major airport. If you prefer
to drive, we will meet you in camp. Travel throughout
the hunt is provided for in 4X4 vehicles.

CAMPS:
Our first class tent camps
with wall tent cook shack and separate sleeping tents
include carpet floors, comfortable cots, foam padding,
lanterns, and heaters for colder weather. Camps are
well planned out for location and access, and include
camp fires whenever possible. We furnish all the necessary
equipment with the exception of sleeping bag, rifle
and personal gear.
 


MEALS:
Meals generally consist of
the following, however, if you have special dietary
needs please convey them to your guide as soon as possible.
We'll be happy to accommodate you any way we can.
BREAKFAST
Continental-style consisting of coffee, tea, juice,
cereal, muffins, bagels, rolls etc.
LUNCH
Snack-style lunches that can easily be carried in
a backpack.
EVENING
MEAL
Freshly prepared gourmet meals including: Appetizers,
BBQ grilled meats, fresh vegetables, salads, potatoes,
rice dishes, pastas and of course a little desert for
the sweet tooth.
All our guides are excellent cooks. We
love to eat and especially enjoy western style and Dutch
oven cooking. A person who eats and sleeps well will
feel better and hunt harder, and that goes for our guides
too.



CARE
OF YOUR TROPHY:
Your trophy will always be properly cared for. All meat
will be packed out. Your trophy will be expertly caped
and ready for you to take home and/or ready to go to
the taxidermist. If you do not have a personal taxidermist
you might want to consider "Harlow's Wildlife Studios"
in Tucson. Owned and operated by Chris Harlow (one of
our guides) and, we might add, one of the best taxidermists
around.



PRE-SEASON
SCOUTING:
We at Dry Creek Outfitters
believe that pre-season scouting is the key to a successful
hunt. You can be assured that ample pre-season scouting
will be done for your hunt by your guide. However, the
sooner you book your hunt with us, the sooner we can
start scouting for you. Desert sheep are super sensitive
to their surroundings, non-territorial, and live in
the harshest country imaginable. Each year the bedding,
travel routes and feeding areas will change reflecting
water, forage conditions and recent weather fronts.
It is very important to know where the bulk of the sheep
are if you want to know where the old rams will be hanging
out. That is why properly timed and serious scouting
is so important to early success in the desert. When
a client has placed so much faith and trust in a guide
for his one-and-only desert sheep hunt, there is no
room for complacency. When you book a hunt with us,
we are committed to the success of your hunt, a job
well done, and another new friend for life.

If you are interested in
applying for a desert sheep tag, or other game, we would

- How and when to apply.

- Which units have the biggest rams
- Which units would best fit your
needs and hunting abilities.
- What are your odds of being drawn

Please call us early so that we can best assist you.

PRICING
(Desert Sheep Hunts)
We know from past experience
that quality trophy hunts will
generally average 10 to 14 days, therefore:
We offer a fully guided
and outfitted one-on-one 16-day hunt
which includes pre-season scouting for:
$6,500
Additional guides are
available for:
$3,000 each
Our policy has always
been to function as a team. When one of us finishes
a hunt and
another guide is still out with a client, we will go
to help out on that hunt. It is possible that you
could end up with more than one guide assisting you
on your hunt at no additional charge.

on your own, we offer consult guiding for some units.
