LBH thank you for all your assistance and great info! Results rarely match expectations, and there is NO substitute for boots on the ground. The overall experience, though tough, was overall very satisfying. The interaction with friends, new and old, the laughs, drama, were priceless. I want to...

Cost separate base from Euro. Euro cost $200 with dermestids, degrease, dry... apologies for confusion. Total all in Euro and base <$295... Glad you like it!

Thanks all! I had it in my mind to do this type of mount, if I was able to take one. I'm out of room for mounts with over 50 from all members of the family. Plus I really like the ability to pick up the head and marvel at the weight these wonderful creatures carry every day!

MD58 that is possibly one desirable result, but in general my observations were their herd estimates were/are mythical. We had up to 11 very capable guys/gals who covered more of each mountain range, with the exception of one no go area. We counted all sheep, trying not to double count any, and...

Eyeman, it is a Table hooker from Skull Hooker. You must ASK for the Sheep Prong. It is bigger than the standard prong - wider and a bit deeper. I mounted it to a 1.18 inch Marble sink cutout. Usually available at most granite installers. Mine was from a sink we did many years ago, Marble is...

G'day all. In case you missed it I thought I would update the hunt I drew last year for my Desert Bighorn. The unit I drew in 2023 was way over subscribed by way of NV authorized tag allocation. I was told by the senior biologist there were around 700 animals in population in the 2 distinct...

Homer, back when I did it we counted 200-250 deer in one night. Result 4-5 tags per year, every year. It was amazing what the desert can produce when it is able to thrive... Mountains, foothills, lush fields with water equal wildlife... today the number of tags (all sources) far outstrips the...

Key word is CROP. I think the minimum wS 160 ACRES OF CROP land, i.e. under production. Think Alfalfa in NV. You can look up under Crop Depredation/Compensation NV.

That is how landowners receive their LO tags which they then resell to the public for big bucks. It's been going on since 1990 at least. I used to help the field count, done at night with a spotlight. Total the number counted, divide by 50. You get one tag per 50 critters. This was for deer and...

For Antelope all B&C scores are in 1/8" increments, and as all have stated net scores must be in even eighths...

But you're sayin' there's a chance! LOL. Yes it can be a very tough hunt according to those who have done it, and especially with some ranches locked up by outfitters. I really appreciate the info!

Hey guys, I have created a post here to allow comments from the 2024 Hunt Challenge Forum (Link Below) which will allow comments and let us share our insights. No sniping, disagreements (civil) encouraged, educational enhancement (of me) always encouraged! This will be my final AZ elk hunt, just...

The writer of the opinion Adam Bronstein could not start a fire with 6 YouTube instructional videos, 2 zippo lighters, a gallon of gasoline, and an even dozen road flares. Why do such people exist? Simply because we allow it. Sheesh what a moron... Non contributing, revenue generators aside...

The 2024 starter pistol surprised me at the jump. I drew an "Opportunity Hunt", and though not my first choice, but I'll take the chance. Reached out to Don Martin for some wisdom and he was more than lucky in his efforts also. November is a long way off at my age, but I'm looking forward to the...

I yield to those who have opinions from their comfortable chairs after the fact... your expert analysis of situations you cannot comprehend, except from the vast reservoir of knowledge amassed from video games and such not withstanding... you prairie dog warriors are equally entitled to your...

Facts not in evidence: Was the shooter a PH? Most likely. Was the rider a PH? Most likely. Did the shooter act improperly? No, the shot was the product of experience and knowledge with ones weapon, 100% instinctive. Do members expressing opinions here understand the danger the buff presented...

Rough country, tough hunters with the right attitude equals success! Very nice Cali, and well earned! Who were your guides? You gotta find 'em to kill 'em, too bad the lion got away!

Whatever his age, he ain't having more birthdays... looks 8-9 very tough to identify annuli from pix! Congrats to hunter on a well earned trophy of a lifetime!

NIB Swarovski STS 17 – 40x spotting scope Purchased late 2023, never registered. Paid $2,450 plus tax. Buy it now for $2,300 net to me, shipped TYD. Insurance is on your dollar.

I think Blank will be jealous...

Good eating, however the animal probably had CWD - you better ship it to me for proper disposal! Safety first my friend...

It's there also, thanks!

Hello all, The ram was taken 12/30/2023 in cool weather + or - 35 degrees at 9:51 am. It was off the mountain, caped @ 2:45pm, head caped/finished by 7:30PM same day. It is caped to the hip bone, no bullet holes, except 1 at spine/hip bone, tubed front legs to knees. Light Chocolate color. It...

I have shot tons of African, NA-Alaskan, NZ stuff with my .375 pre 64 mdl 70, Shilen #4 contour 22" barrel, magna-ported (dating myself) and a Chet brown FG/CF stock, topped with a Vari-x III 2.5-8 duplex, and more recently a Trijicon RMR dot. Used more than a handful of different manufactures...

It's a .375 H&H hands down. Use it anywhere on anything out to 350+ yards, if you learn to shoot it. Globally available ammo. No issues, wide bullet weight/ammo selection. Lower cost all around, pair with variable low power scope, or a dot for the willows/close work.

Fly Qatar from US direct to Windhoek. Avoid JoBurg. Don't know outfitter but I can ask, if you wish. First timer luck is legendary, hope your outfitter is OK, verify that. Most older "PH" were originally farmers hunting on their own ranch.

Super ram! Love the heavy Argali edge on his horns, once in a lifetime right there Sir! 7+ years old? Wow, just wow!!

I may sell my caped Desert Bighorn. I have heard they can bring stupid prices. Anybody have any idea of price range. Very long cape, tubed front legs, no cuts, light chocolate color. Information appreciated! Thanks...

To all, thank you for educating me on the forum mechanics! I heard from Founder regarding the inability to post/comment on 2023 HUNT ADVENTURES. It is a design feature that allows only the author to post/comment. I learned something! u one and all for your interest and I hope the thread at least...

LIK2HNT - NDOW aged him @ 6+, I think they're spot on, a guide stated 7+, but hey he'll never have another birthday! He's broomed 4+" off each side, but I like that character in a DBH... Thanks for the kind words!

Final Chapter(s) 0f 2023 NV Sheep hunt If any are interested please see: https://www.monstermuleys.info/xf/threads/all-good-things-come-to-those.203351/#post-2241158 for the final chapters of my 2023 NV Desert Bighorn hunt!

Final Chapter Part 2 About 50 feet from the ram, I looked, and knew with certainty I had my ram, but not the “one”. We called the group (our wives) and Troy’s young son, and they drove to where we left our rig and made the long climb up to us, where the work began. I can honestly state my 2...
