The remote location of the northern end of the Sheep Range makes access difficult. Endless sandy washes feed into a maze of deep canyons bordered by steep, impassable mountains creating ideal sheep habitat. The combination of Units 283 and 284 provides hunters with an opportunity for a mature ram.

The continued oversight of the sheep population by the US Fish and Wildlife Service has helped grow a healthy herd. Each small group tends to hold one or two large, mature rams. This hunt also includes Unit 284 as part of the hunting boundary. This unit is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Hunters may encounter anti-hunting groups watching sheep during the hunt. Check in with park rangers and locals in Alamo to ask about sheep. Having topographical and water guzzler maps is important.
