I hope this thread has a happy ending. I would probably shoot the first full curl ram I saw if I ever get a sheep tag. I also told my boss at work if I ever draw a sheep tag I will be gone for the entire season and come back if they’ll have me. Cause for the average person you only get one sheep tag and work will always be there.

Wow, I am above average on something — at least, on tags. I am only one sheep for three tags though.

Oh, and to the OP, I hope you find what you're wanting out of your opportunity, whatever that may be.

Thanks @BuzzH! We are going to hunt hard up to Christmas. If we don't find one we will have a few days after Christmas to kill A ram.

I'm really glad to hear that you are still getting after it robie. No doubt it is getting harder, but I'm guessing the challenge will just add to your amazing adventure.
Best of luck and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year.

Well guys it's done. I got A ram. Right now im feeling frustrated and like I want throw up. This isn't how the best tag in the state was supposed to end up but here we are. For reasons I'll never understand my guide suggested we pass on a couple of 170ish rams in July. I didn't know enough at the time to say hell no and it's something i have to live with. Always remember it's your tag and you make the call. Let the guide make his recommendations. I just trusted the guide. Stupid on my part.

I'll let it all settle in and share how the hunt went down but wanted to share that i killed and it's over.

If you draw a sheep tag in NV and want to go guide give me a call I'll share my full experience.

Congrats!!! He will certainly go over 160. Nice sheep. Always remember, it's one more sheep than 99% of other hunters are ever going to harvest.

I have never drawn a glory tag so can't say that I fully understand how you are feeling but I hope it settles in and ultimately you appreciate the experience and the trophy. I honestly believe just getting to actually hunt sheep and feel your heart jump out of your chest when you see one that you might be interested in taking is the real highlight and something that not many people will be able to do.

I debated even posting that. But it's the raw emotion of how I feel in the moment. The hunt yesterday was awesome. And the stalk was bad ass. I'll post the rest once I have a moment to reflect. Gross score 164. Solid ram.

Reminds me of the podcast when Corey talks about his glory tag and having a set score number. He regrets doing that to himself and took it as a learned lesson.
