The sheep had a good reason to be nervous. I was a very lucky winner of a Colorado sheep tag this year. This is the results. 5 days in on a 6 day hunt. Sheep tags are special!!

Very nice! That hunt will have you pumped up for a while.

Congrats on a very nice ram. Packing my truck tonight and leaving in the morning to try and fill my ram tag.

What other sheep species did you take?

Is it hard to draw a sheep tag in CO?

This is a high mountain lake. Around 13,000 feet or so.

Awsome pics. I put in for sheep and goats in CO for 16 years but never drew. Moved here about 9 years ago and now living my dreams. That stone is a brute. Congrats on both of them.

Actually it's a Dahl sheep from Alaska. It was a brute, 41 inches and some change.
