Nice sheep! But If I'm ever in a photo posing like that, I give each one of you permission to kick me square in the nuts!

Man pays $300,000 to hunt bighorn sheep in Montana

February 05, 2012 5:00 pm • Associated Press(0) CommentsGREAT FALLS - A New York man has paid $300,000 for a license to hunt bighorn sheep in Montana this fall.
The special auction license was bought last month by James Hens of East Bern, N.Y., at the Wild Sheep Foundation convention in Reno, Nev.
With the license, Hens will be able to take a bighorn in any Montana sheep hunting district this fall.
The Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission authorizes several groups to auction big-game tags. The groups get 10 percent of the money and the rest goes to FWP for research and habitat improvement for the species.
The most ever paid for a bighorn sheep tag was $310,000 in 1994.

Sorry, but I will take my 180 class ram I shot with my bow at 20 yards, by myself and packed it out alone!
ANYONE can shoot a big animal if they have the money!!!!

Tough choice... if I had the money, Kluane. If I was a poor working stiff, I'd pray for a Chugache tag. I think the archery WR can be beat, the all time... doubt it will ever be taken down.

I love the animal. It's a beautiful example of good genetics and diet. The hunter obviously has skills.
I wish the background story was different.
I am getting tired of...
"this just in....recently a rich dude spent a mint on a tag a commoner will never see. Hunter then spent 30 days in the back country with 18 of his closest (for pay) friends. Said tag was used to harvest NEW WORLD RECORD (elk, deer, moose, sheep, goat, etc). Photo included (trophy is the one not smiling).":hump:

So what he spent a bunch of money. 90% of the money from the tag is going to help MT FWP. I would rather have someone hunt hard for a ram that bought the tag, than some redneck poaching the ram.

I think these tags are beneficial overall. Yes it allows rich-azzes to buy a hunt basically wherever but that's a lot of money that helps us the hunters. Well maybe more so if we had the right people running our FWP.

I don't think that's what they meant... Is it ethical to send out an army to hunt a sheep? I really don't care how he hunts, but I know I'd have WAY more success if I had 10 guys scouting for me, or pushing animals to me, or whatever. So, I'll take Wapiti Warriors trophy any day over that guy's.
