At Tioga Boar Ranch, we’ve been perfecting the art of hunting Corsican rams for over 40 years. Our ranch offers year-round professionally guided hunts (7 days a week) so you can experience the thrill of tracking these majestic animals anytime. Whether you’re after a shoulder mount or a skull mount, our expert guides ensure your hunt is both safe and rewarding. But why choose a guided hunt over going it alone? Let’s break it down.
Understanding the Guided Hunt Advantage
A guided hunt pairs you with an experienced tracker or hunting expert who knows the terrain, the animals, and the nuances of seasonal behavior. For Corsican rams, which are creatures known for their sharp senses, agility, and unpredictable movements, having a guide is more than a convenience; it’s often the difference between a successful hunt and hours spent searching in vain.
At Tioga Ranch, our guides have decades of experience. We understand every ridge, valley, and feeding area on the property, and they can anticipate ram movements with remarkable accuracy. Beyond locating animals, guides provide instruction on tracking, judging trophy quality, and putting you in position for success.
Why Guided Hunts Are Ideal for Corsican Rams
Expert Navigation of Terrain: Corsican rams are elusive and agile, often traversing steep and rugged terrain. Guides help hunters read the landscape, identify signs, and select the best vantage points for a successful encounter.
Trophy Quality Assessment: Not every ram is a trophy, and experienced guides know how to identify fully mature rams. Mature Corsican rams can weigh over 125 lbs, and we typically begin hunting them once they reach a full curl. Guides help ensure you target animals worthy of a shoulder or skull mount.
Safety and Logistics: Hunting in remote or challenging environments comes with inherent risks. Our guides prioritize your safety, assist with field dressing, and coordinate transportation after the harvest, allowing you to focus on the hunt itself.
Seasonal Insights: Are you looking for the perfect shoulder mount? The best time is November through May when rams grow their thickest hair and manes. Guides at Tioga Ranch use these seasonal patterns to plan hunts that maximize both comfort and success.
The Challenges of DIY Hunting
While hunting on your own can be rewarding, Corsican ram hunting is particularly challenging. Without a guide, hunters must manage every aspect of the hunt, from navigating rugged terrain and tracking animals to judging trophy quality and making ethical shot decisions. For newcomers and even experienced hunters, this can result in missed opportunities or unnecessary risks.
Why Tioga Ranch Stands Out
Tioga Ranch combines decades of hunting experience, expertly managed herds, and professional guides to create unparalleled hunting experiences.
