Does anybody know if a Canadian is eligible to enter any of the draws in states that have Desert Bighorns?

Yes.

Matty,

The game departments in the States don't differentiate between non-residents and non-resident aliens, as the Provinces tend to do. As such, Canadians would compete for the tags on equal footing (not taking into account the various bonus / preference point systems) with American citizens who are also not residents of the State(s) in which you might apply for a Desert Bighorn tag.

You would have to pay the license/application/service/tag fees in American dollars. Paying with Canadian funds would be a quick way to get thrown into the "rejected" pile I'm sure.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info and am considering getting into the game. However, I'll admit that previous postings about the draw game were disheartening.

One more question. Could anyone list off the States that have naturally occurring desert sheep populations (that weren't previously extirpated)? I am by no means a purist, just curious.

Matty,

One thing is absolutely guaranteed... If you do not apply, you will not draw.

California, Nevada, and Arizona never lost the desert sheep to the best of my knowledge. I think that New Mexico had a few holdouts, but not sure if any of those populations held on all the way to the modern day. I would assume that some sheep held on in Utah, but could be wrong.
