California Bighorn Sheep Hunting

California Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana) Search Our Hunting Trips for: Current SCI all time record: Score 186 3/8 Description: As with the Rocky Mountain Bighorn, the distinctive feature of California Bighorn Sheep is the massive brown spiral horns which, in rams, curls back and down close to the head with tips projecting forward and outward just below the eyes. The curl is slightly more open than in R.M. Bighorns. The ewe’s horns are shorter and simply curl back laterally from the crown. The coat is smooth and close to the body contours. The dorsal colour is dark brown with darker chocolate brown on the chest, face and legs. The lower belly, backs of the legs, muzzle and large rump patch are ivory white. Males weigh 130 – 156 kg. Females are much smaller than males. Other Common Names: Size: Range: British Columbia, California, Idaho, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington; August-October. Natural History: California Bighorn Sheep are found mainly in alpine-desert grasslands associated with mountains, cliffs, foothills, and river canyons, which offer good escape terrain from predators. This subspecies prefers areas with low precipitation levels in winter, at 600 - 1800 m elevation, whereas summer habitat is found at 2000 - 2500 m in the subalpine and alpine. This herbivore will often eat grasses and sedges, but the diet also includes significant amounts of shrubs and forbs. For most of the year, except the rut, adult males live in groups often separated from ewes and younger sheep. Mating takes place between late October and November, followed by gestation of around 175 days. One and rarely two young born in April or May are usually weaned in 4-6 months.
