    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    He is trying to encourage me to not just shoot anything and that we still have time to find a solid ram. I could have shot if I really wanted to. The guides are willing to keep looking all the way to the end and are confident they will find something. I don't want it to sound like they are...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Guide was the one telling me not to shoot! They don't want to kill a small ram with this tag. I saw a few that were "pretty" that I would have gladly killed. They have no problem hunting this until the end. If you need a guide in NV these boys hustle!

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    I’ll make this brief. We hunted sunup to sundown for 7 days. No shots were fired. Didn’t see anything over low 160s rams. The big couple we were after never showed back up. I’ve learned a lot, and I hope whoever draws this tag next year gives me a call. I really messed up how I’ve hunted this...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Day 1 was a blasts hiked all over. Found 20 sheep and 1 new ram that we needed a closer look at. The couple we have been after never showed up. But today is a new day!

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    It was really interesting when I started calling around guides of how they hunt this tag. Some guides will treat it like a normal hunt and work really hard in the units they know for a couple of weeks. Some will tell you a hunt price and then add on a scouting package and scourer the state for...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    To make sleep even more difficult my outfitter had one of his guys checking in on the ram we were very excited about and his big brother showed up today. Out of now where. It's amazing how they can just hide in a fold and not move until they feel like it.

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    I'll add some photos after its all done. My guide found a stud yesterday we didn't know about. I told him I would really like to hunt for a few days just to get some time in the hills but this may be the one. The cooler weather is very welcomed. If I would have hunted in July it would have...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Age is very high on my lists of importance. We've got 1 of each spotted as backups at the moment. I've gone back and forth a hundred times trying to decide which one I would love to look at forever. Both area really cool rams that get there in different ways. When I got the tag I thought...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    The guides have found a few that are great rams and I would be excited to kill any of them. But we are going to hunt a couple of units hard for a few days to see what else is out there hiding. I've got a decent chunk of time blocked off to hunt. We've got trail cam pictures of a ram I would...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Nevada :) We have a unit we are going to start and look at a couple of rams my guide has found and see if we can dig out anything new. If I'm not ready to shoot he wants to take the team to another unit and tear it apart for a couple of days. I would like to be done before the regular season...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Nothing to exciting! I will be heading to NV in a couple of weeks. If for whatever reason it doesn't work out I'll be back in December. My tag is good until 12/31. The guides are in the field everyday looking for a next level ram. We don't have a specific ram but a few we are looking at. They...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Lol. Thank you. Feel free to ping me if you want to chat. There are only a handful of units that consistently produce 170+ rams. Several other units can from time to time. If your tag isn't for one of the consistent units you are probably safe!

    I appreciate the feedback. It's a gift to have this experience, I'm hoping a few people can at least come along for the ride. I honestly thought I would be like Randy and donate for a lifetime and end up buying a Dall hunt at some point. Having this tag and then a Dall hunt two years from now...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    Thank you. I've learned that I'm a terrible trophy hunter! I would have killed any of the rams my guide has found, but I'm doing my best to just listen to him as we talk about each sheep and not get in a hurry. Hopefully October is good to us and we find a few more to add to the pile of...

    NV Silver State Desert Sheep Hunt

    I was the lucky guy who drew the silver state sheep tag this year. Some of you guys might be interested in this tag and how I chose to hunt it. Season is open July 1st through Dec 31 and I can hunt any unit in the state that has more than 2 tags. There are 3 tags total that have the same set of...

    Dall's Sheep and Mountain Caribou Raffle

    I'll start a thread on the Silver State. I haven't killed yet but it's been an interesting ride with finding rams so far. Silver state was 1 in 10K I had 2 tickets so this was 2 in 600. Insane to think about the tags I haven't drawn that were 50/50. Lol. I put my name in lot of hats each...
