Thanks.


I had put it down in my original post with the pics but took it out just before I posted it. The cost of these hunts are rediculous, they start around $45k and go up from there. The sheep I posted pictures of were $60k hunts and they were 10 days long. Its one of the reasons I havent guided a desert sheep hunt in 8 years. The pressure is rediculous, the hunters know that its hunting and that certain things are out of my control but for $60k I feel a huge need to make it the trip of a lifetime for whoever books the hunt. Regardless, most of the time you are with somebody that has 3 of the 4 sheep and has saved a lifetime to fufill a dream because they were unable to draw a desert tag in YEARS of applying. It is a humbling experience to be with these guys when they complete their "Slam". Definately a memory I will always cherish
