GameHauler Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Well Tony Sounds like you and Sasha need to go do a little hiking Maybe Squaw Peek twice a week And a new trail outside the valley once a month. I have a real nice one that I hiked yesterday with a full daypack and rifle. This is your year, good luck. You may NOT have my Rockie tag though Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NRS Report post Posted December 5, 2007 My friends told me not to go because they know of my addictive nature, they know how I crave gettin' up on a glassin' point with spectacular views in any direction, they know I love sittin' behind my tripod mounted Swaro's for hours on end.......... I should have listened to em'. Welcome to the addiction, it only took me 23 years to get my desert tag, now I have to work on getting my rocky tag. If you really need to feed your addiction, join the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society. Its a great way to feed your addiction and give back tothe wildlife of this state through building wildlife waters in sheep country. you also meet some great people.

ajohunter Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Nothing better than sitting at the base of the mountains, the cold december air, good friends sitting there with you, looking at sheep at first light! As much as I love hunting, sheep hunting is by far my favorite! Still praying for my tag one of theses years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are lucky you didn't have to wait one year short of four decades for your tag as I did. I agree about the ADBSS and the great work done by great people. I just don't share their fascination with sheep. I've watched a lot of desert sheep, a few Rocky Mountain sheep, and a very few Dall and Fannin sheep and none impressed me as much as a big bull elk or a majestic red deer or any of the whitetails, mule deer, roe deer, and the other deer species I've hunted. Talk with people who have shot all of the world's sheep and you'll hear about the wonderful scenery, the beautiful rams, and the remote places where they've hunted sheep but you'll never hear them accuse a ram of any species of being as intelligent as a deer.
