LAST EDITED ON Apr-30-15 AT 04:59PM (MST)[p]I believe the last ram pictured is a pick up from an unhunted area in Colorado 195-198 B&C if I'm not mistaken. I have a pictures of that ram alive and was lookingfor him when I had the Colorado tag in 2008. He was found dead sometime after that.

That's a nice one. He was found dead a few years ago in Colorado. I think he scored 198ish. Sandbrew

285 doesn't run thru Evergreen? Did you mean Conifer? Seems like ore and more cats inthe 285 coridor. Last October I saw 4 at once 3 nearly full grown juvenilles and mom. Earlier this summer there was a young male in a tree off 285 at near 470 the next day. I saw a 120 female hit by a car on...

Actually you can draw your first choice without 3 points only if nobody else with 3 points applies. Also if someone turns in a tag they call the next person in line so apply for the unit you want to hunt and be ready to hunt on short notcice. Colorado reissues about 20 sheep tags a year.

The ranch does harvest rams they are allowed 3 ram tags a year. The current owner archery hunts himself and allows/invites 2 others a year. Under the RFW agreement the public gets 2 tags. But the tags are only offered every 6 years. The public tags are # 19 and 20 of the total issued. They...

There is a coplete descriptionof how the draw works onthe Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society home page. http://www.bighornsheep.org/

My wife says as written in post #1 the answer is 288 and she is always right. Not to mention a math teacher.

me tooo Let me know if you find any extras

Bill Awesome Pics! Thanks for sharing! I love the look of the ram in photo# 3. When I draw that unit I will call you. Sandbrew

I've looked at the #s in Colorado and dropping 100+ or so hunters every year who draw does little to impact the remaining applicants (11800 in 2009)when there are 500+ new people getting in the game every year. In the last 5 years the # of applicants with dead rams on record reapplying after...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-21-10 AT 07:04PM (MST)[p]Isn't that returning the money to help sheep? ;-)

Tired of waiting to draw a tag? The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society is proud to offer for the first time a Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep license/voucher for auction at our annual banquet and auction at the Denver Merchandise Mart on April 24, 2010. Telephone bids will be accepted at the...

No special folding just sticky ink...;-)

My views are "tainted" at this point since Karl Malone drew my name for a sheep hunt 1 ticket to early and I had to throw it back!!!!! Overall a pretty interesting event at the birth of a new org. I like some of the ideas and hope the group can continue to progress and grow to help sheep. In...

I know for a fact it was more than $25 but less than $625 and almost didn't happen. Congrats Mike! Hope you can find a big, old, chipped up, nut dragger that will make you say WOW. Best of luck! Sandbrew

Robb, Glad you liked it. It was a ton of work. I think Buckspy is on his way to SLC. If you see him there thank him yourself. I spent a good deal of time tracking down all that transplant info and putting it into a form people could understand...just glad somebody read the article with all...

The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society www.bighornsheep.org BOD voted to fully fund all bighorn sheep feeding for the rest of the winter to the tune of $8400.00. How many videos do we get:-) Sandbrew

LAST EDITED ON Apr-18-07 AT 10:49AM (MST)[p]I forgot to add there are several more pictures of him on the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society website www.bighornsheep.org in the discussion forms. Here http://bighornsheep.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/282109932/m/565102178?r=565102178#565102178...

Final score on this great ram was 195 5/8 net B&C The long horn was 50 7/8 the longest bighorn horn in B&C. It is one of only a handful of all sheep horns over 50 inches. His mass is average or below. His base on the long side was nearly an inch smaller than the shorter 43 inch horn. The...

Don't forget to buy some raffle tickets from the RMBS at www.bighornsheep.org The season dates are extended for the auction and raffle hunters in all open units until Dec 31 2007. You just missed out on bidding on the auction tags. They just sold this weekend. Mt Goat sold for $17,500 and the...

19 tags turned in for 2006 in unit 5 due to fires. They will be issuing 12 less (48 vs 60) in 07 than 06 in unit 5 to account for the overflow from 2006. Sandbrew

LAST EDITED ON Oct-12-06 AT 11:42AM (MST)[p]Why would somebody throw a perfectly good elk over a cliff? Looks staged to me so they wouldn't have to packout the meat. ;-) Sandbrew

Here's a 157 7/8 gross 155 3/8 net P&Y Colo bighorn. He was 15 2/8 27 2/8 and 15 4/8 x31 4/8 He's a 160 class ram before he busted 4+ inches off his right horn. I doubt those rams are more than 14 inches in the bases and 28 long. Sandbrew

I started a new thread since I could not deal with the photos downloading every time. Here's some good info http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/valleyoutdoors113.php "Transplants had to come from areas where the California subspecies lived, such as British Columbia, Idaho and Oregon" Now that I...

He looks about the same as the other 2 140-150ish max. In any healthly sheep herd you should see a good mix of all ages. There should be at least a few 8-10 year old rams somewhere near by for breeding. How big is this herd in population? Have you talkd to the local biologist who is using...

Any idea where they are transplanted from? That might help detremine the average size bases. How about last years harvest can you get measurements and age of the sheep. How about a photo of last years harvest? How long ago did they do the transplant? Have you asked the local F&G biologist...

According to my tax guy....You are only taxed in the year the hunt is taken. If I could have pushed mine off until 2007 I would have had time to plan. This guy also has the option of not taking any one or more of these hunts or donating a hunt(s) he does not take back to GSCO for a tax...

I'll ask Bruce what his success is on full curls. Good question! When I talked to him last night he also had a second slot open (for which this hunt can be moved to) that is 3/4 or better for the entire 14 day Sept 24- Oct 7 I can't go that time so that why I have not booked it with Bruce...

Let me clairify, The British Columbia provincal GST or Goods and Services taxes are paid by AZDBSS on the the value of the hunt. 3% of the hunt value of $18,500 is $647.5 so the total paid by AZDBSS is $19,147.50 Uncle Sam wants his share of my gambling winnings and the AZ folks will be sending...

It's not really a free hunt when you figure in taxes on winning a $20K hunt, license fees, tip and travel costs etc. It will end up costing me out of pocket about what a dall hunt will cost me. So in order to keep the peace at home with my wife and not have my 2 kids eating raman noodles I'm...

InterpolNY, All I said was eBay would be a "last resort" and with 2 deals that have fallen through and 5 weeks to go until the hunt starts. I'd call that a last resort. Sandbrew

HornedToad, Thanks for an insightful and fact filled post. WOW a total of 6% (actually 0.058823529%) of al the sheep tags in Utah went to nonresidents that is CRAZY! I would be pisssed as well NOT! Next year I'll be sure to have at least 25 new nonresident friends apply just to try to up...
