El Chaparral Ranch & the Chaparral Mountain Range's specialty is in producing Record Desert Mule Deer, Free Range Bighorn Sheep & Trophy Coues deer!!!

Desert Bighorn


The Chaparral Mountain Range is a proven and successful Desert Sheep project about “putting Sheep Back on the Mountains”. This project starts in 1994 where the population at the range found itself in very low numbers. This translocation project included bringing sheep from Tiburon Island to the Chaparral Mountain Range which is only 5 miles away due NorthEast on the mainland... The project also included investment into water distribution throughout the range and predator control. We believe that all these management practices have resulted in great success after 20+ years. The Population at the Range has thrived and we estimate through surveys that it always keeps from 160 to 200+ animals and a % of animals move back and forth to other ranges.. This herd has also been used to repopulate other ranges throughout Sonora, Chihuahua and Coahuila.. Desert Sheep in the Chaparral Mountains have thrived, with over 60,000 acres of free range land. It has set us up for some of the Best Sheep Hunting a hunter can experience. Every hunter once they have hunted our range has expressed that “this is the best hunt they have ever been on.” Our Mountains pose a Great yet Challenging hunt, our commitment and goal is to provide 100% Hunting success. We will hunt hard, until we get our hunters the trophy they are looking for, even if we have to reschedule for more hunting days... We have been fortunate to take some Great Rams over the years and it is common for our clients to have opportunities at old Rams that will score between 175-178. And it is not uncommon to take a Ram in the 180+. The Desert Bighorn is a majestic animal and it sets us up for a Great Hunt in the Mountains. We invite you to join us on a Great Hunt and support Mountains like these that have invested so much into Sheep.

We also offer our Gold Hunt for Great bucks up to 189” mark... Big Frame, Heavy and Wide Bucks, awesome Trophies.

Coues Whitetail Deer


The Grey Ghost of the desert, a true challenging and fun hunt.. You can also hunt for a Coues Buck in combination to a Desert Bighorn or Mule Deer Hunt.. Coues do give you a good challenge, between spotting to the shot itself.. They can be crafty and quick.. All of our hunters have greatly enjoyed this hunt.
