Whether you're collecting the Grand Slam of exotic sheep, introducing a new hunter to the excitement of ram hunting, or adding a truly unique trophy to your collection, Cedar Cove Ranch delivers professionally guided hunts combined with luxury accommodations and unmatched hospitality.
From the brilliant white coat of the Texas Dall to the jet-black Black Hawaiian, the sweeping horns of the Mouflon, the striking spiral horns of the Hybrid Urial, and the unmistakable four-horned genetics of the Jacob/Four-Horn Sheep, every ram presents a different experience. Some rely on exceptional eyesight, others use terrain and elevation, while all possess the awareness and instincts that make sheep hunting one of the most rewarding pursuits in Texas.
Unlike traditional mountain sheep hunts, Cedar Cove Ranch combines rolling hills, hardwood forests, creek bottoms, open meadows, and natural cover to create exciting opportunities where careful stalking and good shot placement matter far more than simply covering miles.
