Sheep Stories: How to Hunt Bighorn Sheep with Guide and Outfitter Jimmy Owens

What does it take to be a top-tier sheep guide in modern-day Wyoming? Jimmy Owens of Lost Creek Outfitters gives us the behind-the-scenes look at a sheep hunt—logistics, expectations, glassing strategies, and the high-pressure stakes of once-in-a-lifetime tags. Learn why mules matter, how shooting trumps stamina, and what it's really like chasing rams in grizzly country. For hunters who dream of drawing a tag or just want to know what it takes, this one is a dang good one. 

Please note: we recorded these live at the Wild Sheep Expo in Casper and while audio quality may not be crystal clear, the content is awesome!
