Description
Not often do we have the opportunity of marketing Bighorn Sheep allocation where they are the only permits in that WMU, this is the case in WMU 438. We are pleased to be offering the only 4 Bighorn sheep permits within WMU 438. Cadomin Mines are located within this management unit and boast some of the largest Bighorns harvested. These mine areas hold good populations of sheep and although the mine areas are closed to hunting they certainly supply surrounding area with a steady influx of rams. The entire western side of WMU 438 is the boundary with Jasper National Park. Certainly a look through the record books tells the story of this famed area. There are no camps or equipment offered with these allocations. Allocations such as these are seldom available.
