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!
At the end of the day the tag does belong to you and you've paid the guide a lot of $$. A ram that you are happy with should be all he is concerned with.
I assume his services cost the same for a small ram or a big ram.
Hopefully you'll get the chance to take a ram to be proud of.
 
Sounds like a great experience so far. I know you'll get a ram that you'll be proud of soon.

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 saying I wasn't allowed to. They just don't want me to shoot something I may regret.

I've only done a couple of guided hunts and these guys have been top notch.

That is an great sign of a good outfitter/guide right there. So glad you found such a great partner to help and enjoy this hunt with you. I hope at the end of this you are willing to share who this is because there aren't many top notch outfits out there and they deserve the recognition.

I'm an old guy and I've been very lucky and blessed to take a grand slam of NA sheep. My desert ram scores 172 and is far and away my biggest, but I don't look at any of the rest of my ram mounts with any regrets. They are all cherished. Special draw tags put lots of undue pressure on everyone, including the guide/outfitter, but given my hindsight perspective, I just hope you enjoy the rest of the journey. You seem like a good dude robie. I wish you and your guides well in finding a ram you can enjoy like I do mine.
