blaze orange is not required in Texas...and I do not think in Alaska either...

Apparently it is legal to rifle hunt in Oregon in full camo. I was sure that blaze orange was needed in every state.]
Not required in Texas.

You are fortunate. And, so is your buddy to have the support of good friends. Can't really hunt those sheep in Texas. Nor can I afford to go where they are. I have a sheep rifle ready to go & dream of the day that I will be able to do what you did.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Good for him. Been trying to score a tag here since 1975.

Very nice Ram. Putting in the time definately tilts the odds your way. Lucky to have a good bunch to hunt with, too...

Great ram and nicely staged picture. Congrats to your friend! Hopefully one of these years I'll draw a sheep tag myself.

congrads, both on winning a tag and hanging it on a critter
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Congrats to you and your buddy, ACL! It's awesome that you were ablw to get in on the hunt. Helped my brother with his PH tag this week. Not quite the same as having the tag yourself but it was still a lot of fun. Nice ram.
