Umpqua Report post Posted January 7, 2013 Hi......I recently found this site and have been reading the forum posts the last few weeks. I just signed up and wanted to introduce myself. I'm from SW Oregon and have been applying in Arizona since the mid 1980's. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys and contributing where I can to the forum threads. Although I have more recent pictures, I though the one below was especially appropriate since many of you guys are from Arizona. It's a few years old, but it is a picture of my son's 2008 Arizona desert sheep. He was 14 years old when he drew, and due to a family crisis, we only had four days for the hunt. In the picture going left to right is our guide Matt Liljenquist, my son, and myself. My son wrote an article about his hunt and it was published in the Huntin Fool magazine (May 2009).
