Southeast of Moab and south of Grand Junction lies the Dolores River and its rugged canyons. Desert Bighorn hunting was opened in 2010. There is a growing herd of bighorns in the area.
The terrain will challenge any tag holder as the river canyons are steep with few entry and exit points. Colorado Parks and Wildlife population estimate the combined herd to be over 150 Desert Bighorns. Be prepared for long shots up, down or across canyon walls.
