You need a guide as a non-resident for sheep.
Lots of guys do them. The only lower 48 hunt that requires a guide that I know of is the outfitter pool in NM. Alaska and all of Canada require a guide for NR. You don't hear much about it because there's only like 200 NR sheep tags issued in the lower 48 every year.

Anyone ever done anything like a DIY sheep hunt as a non-resident? How did it go?
That's what I expected. Also, I would imagine for a NR taking off a couple of weeks and going to some spot they picked out on map that looked sheepy would probably make for a tough hunt. Overgeneralized, I know, but compare that to a resident who (1) can likely get a tag far easier and (2) has better means to hunt throughout the season.
Everything I have seen show less than 5 percent draw odds as a NR, even with substantial points.
It's actually likely the other way around. Due to the cost and improbability of getting a tag most NR are going to take a tag very seriously. For residents in some states the cost to apply is very low so they throw their name in the hat. This gets some that don't really care.

^^Not much correct in the above post other than if you apply for one of the sheep draw tags in AK you need to do so through an outfitter as a NR.
