40 years?! You are too old to go on that hunt, you need to give me that tag.

Seriously, CONGRATULATIONS on the tag and GOOD LUCK on the hunt!!! Awesome!

Well, I'm damn proud of you and we don't even know each other.
You must be a resident (haha) with that cheap-azz price tag!
Congratulations!
It's the Holy Grail, to me, of all sheep tags in North America.
I love the desert sheep!

Congrats Tony. Livin the dream !!!

Stories like this give me hope that one day it will be my turn. 38 straight rejections is hard to take.

Zim · Jul 19, 2012

Congrats! Look forward to hearing all about your adventure.

And much happier you got the tag rather than AZSFW!

LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-12 AT 02:26PM (MST)[p]At least it's now offical!

The "Pending" charge of $265 changed to an actual charge a while ago. So now I have to wait for AGFD to post the results to see if I drew 15C North or 45C.
