LAST EDITED ON Apr-30-09 AT 06:40PM (MST)[p]Hi, wondering if anyone can help me out with info.on who would be the best rocky mountain bighorn guide for the nine mile range creek ,bookcliffs rattlesnake units in Utah as I just drew the NR License.

Mounts,

Congratulations on drawing the only non-res rocky bighorn tag in the state of Utah. You are one lucky guy!! How many points did you have?

As for a guide, I would highly recommend Troy Justensen and Xtreme Wild Sheep Guides. They are one of...if not the best guides on those two units. This link will give you a more details.

So YOUR the one. Why you no good piece of #$@!%&#$*$#$.
Just kidding really. Congrats man, that is awesome. Good luck on your hunt and I hope you kill a hell of a ram. Hopefully next week I will be celebrating myself with a Wyoming sheep tag. Have the hunt of a lifetime Mounts, make the best of it cause sheep tags are hard to come by!

I hunted with Randy and Brett last year for my ram. You will not find a better duo.

Is that big Brandon Barney that we meet on the phavant last year, took a late hunt bull?

I have also heard great things about Shawn Labrum for guiding on these two units for Bighorn sheep. Here is his website:

Best of luck on your hunt!! I have 9 resident points and have been putting in for these units as well.
