Are you serious BuckFart ? If so congrat's you lucky bastard. You should be playing powerball.
I wouldn't yank the crank of a fragile old firecracker throwin' fart like you Bluehair.

I'm not a prankster anyways. I just call them like I see them and like to have a little fun. Speaking of fun. I will be having fun come November 6th down in the Dolores river canyon near Slickrock, Colorado.

I'm sitting here thinking about it. There is like 5,000 applicants for 4 or 5 tags right ? How much bone did you have to slober to get picked. My jaws are a little soft. No tag for me ever I guess.
I talked to Buckspy on the phone today and he's either a real good liar or he really drew the only desert sheep tag in S64.
I emailed Bluehair and told him Buckspy could use his help.
Those two should be able to put their hunting skills to together and fill Buckspies tag with a great ram.
Sound like we have made "love connection" on Monster Muleys.

Yep. He's my new best friend!
At this point I'm just scared as hell that its some sort of computer glitch and I really won't get it. I keep going back and looking at the DOW website and checking the results page and I keep seeing "SUCCESSFUL" next to Desert Sheep and my name.
Unfreakin' believable!

Congratulations Buckspy . Didn't you also draw a RM bighorn tag in Co. a few years ago ? Think I'll get ya to start mailing my applications for me with luck like that . Good luck with the hunt .
Buckspy, if you need a couple of sheep nuts for spotters let me know. [email protected]
Thanks guys! I checked the DOW website 3 times today and its still showing "SUCCESSFUL" next to my name and desert sheep. I keep thinking its a computer glitch and my walk in the clouds is going to come crashing back down to planet Earth. I woke up last night and started thinking about it and couldn't get back to sleep for a few hours.
Sheepshooter-I did draw a Rocky tag in 2000 and killed a 35"x36" ram in the Sangre de Cristos after about a month of backpack hunting. I had a story on it in the 2001 Sheep Isssue in Eastman's Hunting Journal.
I'm just lucky on an incredibly ridiculous basis with this tag. I do appreciate it and I have vowed to never again complain about not getting drawn for something. I'm serious on that.
From what I gathered during our lengthy phone conversations yesterday, Bluehair doesn't believe disease is a factor in the desert sheep decline in the least. That is unless you count getting your a$$ killed and eaten by a mountain lion a disease.
He is intimately familiar with the area as I think his wife's desert bighorn and the live photos can attest. I will take his word on the health of the herd ten fold over any DOW employee that is probably more familiar with the inside of the cab of his or her pickup than where the sheep are.
I am damn excited and grateful as heck for my lucky draw. I just hope to do the opportunity justice.

Get used to that, Buckspy. Might be a lot of sleepless nights thinking about it, worrying about it and hopefully reliving your success afterward. At least that's how it always is for me. I had a desert tag in Nevada a few years back (1986
) and I didn't sleep well for five months before the season and for probably six months after. And, yes I was successful. I always said that a ram tag was the heaviest piece of paper I have ever carried around. Just enjoy the ride. It's gonna be a blast.
Now I'm gonna have to go dig through my Eastman's looking for the 2001 sheep issue. Pretty sure I have it.

How you expect to ever draw another tag if you keep dissin' the DOW like that?;-)
To clarify, I didn't see any obvious physical signs of disease. It is my understanding that brucelosis (sp?) or whatever these sheep are supposedly threatened by will also affect the reproductive process, and may cause the lambs to be aborted. I didn't see any of this, but I didn't see any lambs either. There is no doubt in my mind that the lions are hammering them though. Evidence of this is easy to find.
I'm sure a biologist (or a brewmaster) can straighten us out on this, but I just wanted to clarify my statements. I'm sure we would have gotten around to it eventually anyway, but with AADD it hard to stay focused. Besides, I don't want to look too smart. I just want to fit in around here.

You fit in just fine Bluehair. Besides, people are too busy MFing me to have time to mess with you. I have been pulling a few knives out of my back from supposed friends the last couple of days. I can't believe that some people are so jealous that they feel like they need to put the mouth on me just because I drew this tag. Hey, I know I can be a smart-ass A-hole on the net and I expect to take some from the trolls mouthing off, but this was from a few guys that I really thought were my friends. Like guys I called when they were sick in the hospital. Like guys I called just to keep in touch when I was the only one making an effort. Like guys that I took time away from my family just to help them on their house.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'll be crying all the way to my sheep unit. I guess you find out who your true friends are sooner or later.

I'm a true friend Mikey ( see I didn't refer to you as BuckFart like I usually do )........ can I borrow 50,000.00 to hunt desert sheep in Mexico since you stole my Colorado tag you great big old MF'er. Good luck ButSmack.
There should be two "t"s in Buttsmack. I wanted to lend you the 50g's but my wife said no.
A friend and I were talking about the jealousy factor this morn and he equated it to a bunch of juvenile male coyotes taking turns pissing on a bush. Funny! As soon as the big male coyote comes around the juveniles tuck tail and cower but they act pretty tough when the Big Dog is out hunting.
