Where to Find Bighorn Sheep in Unit S07

We use the CPW Hunting Atlas to identify sheep range overlays, public-land access, and winter/summer range within Unit S07. Bighorn sheep hold on cliff-rim escape terrain near alpine feed, so we scout steep drainages, high basins, and historic lambing areas in person and by glass before the hunt.
