Sheep Show in Reno

It’s been a week, it’s been hard.

Dang it that’s a heart breaker

Ya, it is.

Here’s what’s hard to justify…flights, hotels, meals, rental car/uber, banquet tickets (the only expense the WSF sees a portion of), child care, dog boarding, the list goes on. For what? 1/600 or worse odds at a sheep hunt. If there was another reason to attend then I could see it. But after you’ve been there a few times how do you tell yourself it’s worth it to go every year? If you’re playing odds I think you’re far better off finding a raffle that has a limited number of tickets and buying a dollar amount that you would have spent on the expenditures listed above. It tears me up a bit, but that’s life I guess.

Who wants to hunt desert sheep anyways…

Buy some XRP, better odds of being able to afford some sheep hunts in the future.

I totally understand what you are saying. My wife has two brothers that live in Northern California and they come over to Reno for three days so it works out as a mini family vacation for all of us. I don’t think I would be going every year if it wasn’t for that.
