Cmon sheep

MIG · May 2, 2020

unclebuck · May 2, 2020

Yeah, I drew with 8 points in 2017. My luckiest draw ever.

Beautiful ram

littlebighorn · May 4, 2020

Sittin on 17 points and surely not counting on anything!
Very cool Extrapale! Looks like a bonus find to put with the mount.
That's awesome

Can't pick those up in Oregon. We saw 3 or 4.on the hunt. That one just happened to be right where I shot mine.

mevertsen · May 6, 2020

5 rams? That's impressive! Congrats!

Outdoordan · May 6, 2020

Yeah, I'd say he was doing something right getting 5 tags. Some great rams as well!!

Signage · May 7, 2020

Yep, drew a desert with 7 points. About 8 years ago.

Padfoot · May 8, 2020

Nice rams all round, and some very lucky guys! I'm still hoping for my NV tags to come in....

My son got a desert tag in 2013 in CA with 6 points.

Outdoordan · May 9, 2020

I got a tag in 2006. Solo with a bow, and he was good enough!

Alwayshunting · May 10, 2020

No arrows left Dan. Was it a tough go?

Outdoordan · May 10, 2020

Lol, I shot him good enough the first time (a little far back but in the rib cage). But, I was so freaked out about losing an OIL animal, I shot twice more as he was bouncing up the rocks, missing him completely (probably due to the fact that he was bouncing up the rocks). I told myself to pull it together and wait for him to stop, my last shot thumped him hard behind the shoulder and he immediately bedded. I could see blood pouring over the rock he was on that let me know I was good. I have learned, when in doubt, get another arrow in.

Alwayshunting · May 11, 2020

Lol. I figured there was a good story behind an empty quiver. Would be tough to watch an oil walk away. I'd have launched all my arrows too. And then probably started throwing rocks....

Outdoordan · May 11, 2020

lol, yeah it would have been a hard chuck uphill, but I would've probably started chucking them as well.

kimbersig · May 15, 2020

I got lucky in Idaho as a resident and drew the second year I applied for sheep. When I lived in NM I applied for almost 20 years till I gave up last year as a NR. hoping to draw NV one day!

LookinFor30 · May 15, 2020

I too apply in many states for the chance to chase a ram.....and may never get it. But my 14 year old drew out in Oregon on his first attempt!! A 166 5/8 Californian for his first big game kill........its all downhill from there

Alwayshunting · May 15, 2020

Wow! That's a tough one to come down from! My first big game was a doe....

LIK2HNT · May 16, 2020

Great rams everyone. Like seeing all the success photos. Getting excited about my Utah hunt ram this year.

My Nevada California Bighorn. I drew this tag on my 2nd try ! The only sheep tag I've been lucky enough to draw.

An epic day with my son

Alwayshunting · May 16, 2020

Beautiful ram LBH

mickeyelk · May 17, 2020

I have in the low 20's + BPs for all 3 of the sheep in the state as a resident. Sometimes I wish I was a non resident applying for these same tags. I would have drawn by now

treedagain · May 17, 2020

Mickeyelk? There are tags you have a GREAT CHANCE of drawing. Alot less if your only going for the top units.
Non resident at best with MAX points is less than 5%

How was your NV mountain goat hunt? Don't think too many NR are pulling those. And I don't think you would have drawn Rockies as a NR....

True. Almost didnt apply for the goat tag last year. Got him on day 17 of my hunt. Just figured after 23 bps for desert I would at least have drawn one by now. Rocky. Who knows!

Alwayshunting · May 17, 2020

Lol. Well appreciate what you have had opportunity on. There are residents with more points than 23 that are still waiting for their chance. I'm not being rude by any means but a nv goat tag is pretty good luck....

hawkbill · May 18, 2020

Great Rams everyone. I was hesitant about putting any of my Ram pictures out before the draws for I don’t like to have Rams running around my head for two months only to find an unsuccessful notice in my in box. Well I was sure I would draw Colorado Sheep tag this year, but no! Next I was really hoping to draw another Nevada Sheep tag so I am waiting for the draw. Well Idaho draws came out on Friday, I was so excited my wife drew a really good Moose Tag and totally unexpected when I looked up my name on Idaho website and there under Selected was My California Bighorn Sheep Tag. Now I will dig out the old pictures and try to get them posted. Good luck to you all in the draws and on your hunts!

Outdoordan · May 18, 2020

Alright Bill! Woohoo Sheep hunting is the best. Good luck.

littlebighorn · May 19, 2020

A Moose and Sheep in the same year is lotto luck!!
You'd best hit the stairmaster to keep up with that schedule!
Congratulations.

hawkbill · May 19, 2020

That picture littlebighorn of your son and you and that Ram is truly a fantastic picture

what unit in Idaho did you draw sheep ?

hawkbill · May 20, 2020

Brad I drew 42-2

Outdoordan · May 20, 2020

That's the second season, correct? I had a buddy draw the first season a couple of years ago. I went scouting with him, it's a tough unit to get around in because of the wilderness area. You gotta park and walk to the edge a lot which could be a mile or more each time you park, then a mile or 2 back to the truck, then repeat multiple times each day. You can only see a little of the canyon each time you do that so you have to repeat a lot. He did shoot a pretty nice ram though!

Maybe complaining about not drawing works!

Congrats on an incredible tag! Keep us posted.

Congrats on an incredible tag! Keep us posted.

I may have to continue complaining yearly until I draw the final 2. I have already worked up my plan of attack on ONX. I will. Thanks for the encouragement.
