Any NM MMers Draw Rocky or Desert Sheep Tags

[toklat]

Wondering if any of you drew a sheep tag this year?
Also, rumor has it the potential new NM BHS ram is cruising the Jemez?
Anyone heard sane?

SAME!!!

There will be a new NM record, possibly a world record coming out of the Jemez herd. The auction tag sold for $600k this year because of the potential!!

I hunted that unit in 2022. Give me a call or send a pm and I’d be happy to share what I learned. You should have a blast!!

My daughter drew a rocky mountain bighorn tag in the Pecos Wilderness. It's pretty much the only thing i think about.

 

[toklat]

Congratulations Elkhunter, let us know how you do!
Corby, I figured that auction tag would bring a big premium! Interesting to see how it all shakes out!

I hunted that unit in 2022 also. Happy to help as well. Great hunt, you should have a blast!

 

[MrRogers]

Nope. I wish!

 

[Elkhunter332]

I will take all the advice I can get guys ! I do not want to regret anything on this hunt ...

 

[BUGLEnmIN]

I’ve never been fortunate enough to hunt them, but I have seen them plenty in there. PM me if you want , I can send some pins.

 

[Elkhunter332]

Pm sent

My cousin from Pecos has access to some. I will be making some trips on foot, from the south and north to get a lay of the land and get some pics of some rams.
She is lucky!!! Drew the tag at 22 years old. She also drew on her first try, youth oryx on Rhodes and youth ES elk in 34.

 

[toklat]

She needs to buy lottery tickets!

Gosh DAMN!!!! That’s a hell of lucky streak!!!!

here’s a nice ram we could have through a rock and hit off the horse!

 

[ortegageno]

Here are a few pics to get the blood flowing. Got so close I could have slapped them on the back of their head.

 

[toklat]

Bugle, Geno, nice pics!!

Yessir! They’re not very skiddish

 

[505Outfitters]

Here’s a few Pecos rams we’ve been watching the past few years. Good luck to everyone holding a sheep tag this season.

Those are some really nice rams. Thanks for sharing those photos.

 

[Sallaberry]

Is that the ram in Colorado?

 

[505Outfitters]

No sir, New Mexico Rams. I’ve seen pictures of the Pueblo ram he’s a tank.

 

[ortegageno]

Just had a buddy send me this pic from last year in the Jemez area. What a beast, hope he is still around.

WOW what mass!!!
Mass looks way heavier half way than at the bases. Would love to get my hands on a ram like that!!

Man o man!!! What a damned monster!!! This is the stuff that keeps me awake at night!!! My daughter would be happy with either of the other rams! Just looking for a full curl but if something like this crosses our path he will do just fine

Would really like to see more photos of the one on the left also.

 

[windtalker]

and that is why the auction tag sold for $500,000.00.

that sheep will not see 2025.

 

[passthrough]

The ram in the pic at the far right is the ram in the left corner of the pic of the big ram.

 

[LIK2HNT]

Wow
Hell of a ram
Thanks for posting pictures

I think it went for 600k

 

[toklat]

Yes, $600k!

 

[toklat]

Rumor is Jimmy John purchased the tag for $600 k?

 

[NMFROM81]

Got that one on a bargain deal. Looks more like a $1M sheep to me.

 

[NMBOWHNTR27]

We will be hunting the caballo mountains for desert bighorn!!

I’ve helped out guiding in that unit a couple of times. Fill free to message me.

I really hope he is unsuccessful. That ram deserves to be shot by someone who is not just a rich trigger man looking for bragging rights and a pat on the back.

 

[Saustin10]

I'll be going on my buddy's bighorn hunt in Wheeler in Aug. Getting boots on the ground next week. Would be interested in using llamas or horses for a drop camp if anyone knows someone who does that. Also, curious if anyone on here has drawn that hunt?

 

[NMhunter4life]

Wow!! Such a bad attitude.
If you hate auction tags I can understand that, but wishing bad luck on the purchaser of a legal tag is pretty low.

You should listen to the Blood Origins podcast where Jimmy John is interviewed. He has done more for bighorn in NM than most people even know. (and this is not even counting the funding from purchasing auction tags)

Have you seen the photos and story from his elk hunt???
What a joke!!!
That is not hunting!!!!
I can see why non hunters don’t want hunting after seeing the bs that goes on.
You sitting next to Tri having a beer?
You going to condone Wade lemon next?

Dude you don’t jimmy John. So don’t judge. What would you do if you had $$$$ and was able to purchase a tag like this. You would do it. Hell I’d do it. Don’t be jealous in that way!

Even a deaf, dumb, and blind liberal would not call what he does hunting. Not jealous in any way shape or form. What these high dollar guys do is put a dark shadow over hunting. Pulling a trigger is not hunting and I am getting tired of people trying to disguise this as hunting. Starting to wonder if you are tristate.

 

[NMhunter4life]

Yes, I have seen the elk hunt. I thought the same thing as you. I was ready to dislike the guy before the interview, but I couldn't as I listened to it. Please give it a listen, it may change your mind.

Sounds like jealousy to me. If you have to come out and say you are "not jealous" then you probably are. You could make an argument that every single hunter who goes with a guide is not "hunting", according to your apparent definition.
