Earlier in the week I was at lunch at work when my phone went off with an email from CPW. I opened it up fully expecting to see exactly what I already knew. "Your Rocky Mountain Goat application was unsuccessful." Well of course it was I thought. After reading the email I decided to check my credit card because I couldn't remember how much preference points were. I logged into the account and saw the $50 charge for the point but directly above that was another charge from CPW, $366.13 to be exact. Now, I knew what that meant, however as someone who would never expect to draw this tag I stared at it in disbelief. I immediately ran to some co-workers and my boss, all of which are avid hunters and told them. They couldn't believe it either. I had just drawn 1 of 14 Desert Bighorn Sheep tags in the state of Colorado. The season is the entire month of November. Now, this is just the beginning of what will be this crazy story. I say this because I am going to be a father, for the first time, the first week of October (if the baby reads the script). I have an unbelievable wife that is an avid huntress herself who is and will be fully supportive of this adventure. Now I know it's going to be a crazy fall and I know how crazy the time after birth can be. So with all of that I am going to do my best to try and document it on this thread. I will absolutely document the process on my small YouTube channel that I do for myself and family to be able to look back on. Dawn To Dusk Outdoors (the one with the elk and deer hunts) is the name of the channel if you want to follow along! Drop some advice and follow along!
