Dr. Bob Rice's Unit 15D Desert Sheep Hunt

Jay Scott · February 22, 2013

We got a call from Dr. Bob Rice from Canada stating that he had drawn a Unit 15D Arizona Desert Sheep permit and he was looking for an outfitter. Darr and I were already committed for other hunts so I told Bob about our good friend Russ Jacoby. Russ is not only a friend but he has helped Darr and I the last two years on the Arizona Super Raffle sheep hunt. I put the two of them together and the hunt was set. This ram was going to be Bob's Grand Slam ram. They had a great hunt and harvested a great grand slam ram. The 9 year old ram was checked out by the AZGFD at 167 3/8 and his right horn was 35 5/8 X 14 4/8 and his left horn was 34 X 14 2/8. Congrats to Dr. Bob Rice on a fine ram. To add a little icing on the cake, Bob had purchased a Mexico Desert tag prior finding out he had drawn his Arizona tag. He went on to kill another great desert ram in Mexico about 1 month later. Special thanks to Russ Jacoby, Dr. Bob Rice and "Uncle" Fred Ashurst for his help on the hunt and friendship!
