Being an out of state hunter, I actually completely agree with you that there should be NO otc opportunities for non-residents! There are plenty of otc hunts and draw hunts in my home state. The only hunts I pay attention to in AZ are QUALITY hunts! The quantity or otc hunts should strictly be for residents to be able to get their kids out hunting and to fill their freezers! We do live in a free country where we can choose where we live! If otc tags in AZ were that important to me, I would be looking to relocate there even if it meant a lifestyle change! All that being said, that is just MY opinion and It really doesn’t count for much! Good luck in the draw gentlemen!

I’ve been lurking in the background anxious to see how you did! Any news?

Good for you! Sounds like you had a fantastic once in a lifetime hunt, and have a great ram to look at in the years to come to remind you of that hunt! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

my dad is hopefully next up, at 73 he just slowed down on falling trees. He will up for going hard for while yet!

Have fun in the Pintas! We ever get back into the Cabeza I'll give you a holler!

Great looking Ram! It’s awesome your family was right there with you!

I live 20 minutes from the factory and was in there today with my son getting our knives sharpened and they sold 6 of those just in the 20 minutes we were there. Somebody likes them! Won’t find one in my house though, a lot of other gear I’d rather spend that money on!

Awesome ram! Your going to enjoy looking at that one for a long time!

I talked to my 14yo who has quite a collection of knives. He likes his Buck 110 but brought up a good point that fixed blades can rattle around creating noise and catch on things when going through brush. He loves his benchmade crooked river and for a fixed blade the rag horn. I concur on his recommendation of benchmade. His crooked river got a chip in the wood and when we took it in for sharpening they put brand new wood on as well. All part of their warranty. The chip was on a corner from him dropping it on our brick floor.

I wonder if “it’s” actually a llama?!

Helped a friends boy get this ram on his 14th birthday! 2nd and last sheep hunt of the year (for me) up in Oregon, just thought I’d keep the excitement up for guys with Nov/Dec Ram tags! He green scored 169 even.

Ha! My mind is so consumed with sheep hunts, I saw your ad and immediately thought it was new workout to get in sheep country shape! Good luck with your sell!

He is pretty new to hunting and it was his first time putting in for a sheep tag. Oregon doesn't do points for OIL tags so every year everyone is on the same playing field (be thankful for your system!). We were absolutely relentless on him! He's a good kid and knows how fortunate he is!

Good to know! Thanks Eddie!

I had sent the story as an email to someone and it ended up with the white highlights when I put it here.
