Archery Sheep?

[Guest akaspecials]

Does anyone know how many sheep in Arizona are taken with archery equipment on any given year? Is this data collected anywhere?

Great Question. I was wondering the same thing. Hope someone could shed some light on this one.

Call Arizona Game & Fish dept, and talk to W/M they have the info,.....or send a message to Jay Scott or better yet E-MAIL ARIZONA DEAERT SHEEP SOCIETY!!......they have all the info, you need!!......happy hunting!!......Korey's guide has the info , as well im sure!!

I don't think that anyone would have that info since you can use any legal weapon on a sheep hunt. I don't remember if G&F asks what weapon was used when you do the required checkout. Did they ask you last year when you checked in your great ram,Smitty?

Agree. I doubt there's an official tally anywhere, and no one asked me what I used. That said, the AZ Bowhunting Record Book might list many if not all of them.

 

I do know of at least three who killed sheep with bows: Brian Hamn and Cindi and Corky Richardson.

Cindi and Corky's daughter did as well. There is also a video on youtube of

and Corky's hunts.

The most recent, 5th Edition (2010), shows 23 entries for desert sheep and 6 for rocky mountain. Corky entered his since the book was printed, so there are at least 24 deserts now. Barry Sopher also entered a new State Record Rocky since the printing, so there are at least 7 Rockies now as well.
