World-Class Fair-Chase Desert Bighorn Hunts

Our primary goal at Sierra El Alamo is to facilitate the recovery and growth of the Desert Bighorn sheep in the Sierra El Alamo region of Sonora, Mexico. Our passion for these majestic animals is clearly demonstrated in our ongoing, active conservation efforts in the region. The invaluable contribution of resources hunters make to this effort is key to our ongoing success.

Now is your chance to be among the first to experience this spot-and-stalk, on-foot hunt in an exciting new area. Be an active contributor in our noble endeavor to re-populate the wild sheep herds in this state and witness the tangible results an active conservation program generates!

The Artee Family

PIONEERING OUTFITTERS IN SONORA

The Artee family has been actively outfitting along the west coast of Sonora, Mexico since 1976. Originally founded by Javier Artee as one of the first of its kind in Northwest Mexico with the aim of providing personalized hunts and ultimately increasing herd sizes, this 100% family-owned business continues today under the leadership of Javier and his four sons; Javier Jr, Jorge, Jacobo, and José Roberto.

The professional character and heart-felt dedication of the Artee family is evident in all areas of their hunting operation. References are available, upon request, to prospective hunters that want to fulfill their dream of taking a Desert Bighorn while ensuring the continued increase in wild sheep numbers for future hunters and conservationists.

The Plan | Our Desert Bighorn Sheep Conservation Model

The return of a healthy, sustainable population of Desert Bighorn sheep to this region of Mexico, which had previously been absent for the past 50 to 60 years, speak volumes to the conservation efforts of the Artee family. Current, on-the-ground projects, including translocations, baseline health assessments, water developments, and other habitat improvements within and adjacent to the newly-established area have led to some of the short-term goals being achieved. More specifically, our model identifies the following goals necessary to the programs ultimate success:
