Chef Report post Posted December 10, 2012 My good friend Jesse Novak and his hunters have been having a good season in New Mexico. He is one of the rare people that hikes in sheep country just to “see what’s up!” I’m talking straight up and down country. Looking for rockys and deserts is his passion. I wanted to share a few photos for the guys that enjoy sheep on the forum. This first ram completes this hunters ¾ slam and was taken this October. Congratulations again to Jesse and his hunter Dale Ableidinger. This second ram sure is beautiful. Taken by Dain Ellsworth this November. This final ram was just taken two days ago this December. Completes ½ of Kyle McGovern’s sheep slam. Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azcouesfanatic Report post Posted December 10, 2012 Those are some great rams. New Mexico is producing giants this year. A 13 year old kid killed a 192" desert and the auction hunter killed a 186" desert with a bow. I wish I had a tag this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted December 10, 2012 Yes, that 192" desert is an absolute STUD. Biggest desert I have seen. BTW, my friend Jesse Novak found that monster rocky that the same outfitter guided for the governors tag in 2009. The monster killed on Wheeler peak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
