when I drew my Utah Desert Sheep tag....Sept '13......

pic 1...scouting........I said WTF did I do ?? this may be an impossible tag to fill ?????????

Where ever your tag is,,,,,its up hill both ways........

Desert Sheep live in the most inhospitable terrain known to man......Utah is really that

They can go for many days w/o water.......but they know where it is even before the monsoon season

This fills all the potholes in the slick rock faces ......making them even harder to find

My Ram.....was 7.5 yrs old & only scored 145".......yep a young pup......bigger older Rams.....

10-11 yrs old may never be harvested.....Mountain Lions will find them first.....top of the food chain in these parts

The Ram season is long......mid Sept through early November......then the rut starts.......I had 14 points/years to draw my tag.....

Normal is 18-20 years/points to draw.....auction permits go for $200K + in Utah

Not to hijack thread...but pic 2 is my Ram in Sept '13..190 yds with Tikka 6.5x55

cool


Kinda same way in maine with the moose hunt
Nonresident benjamins get drawn way more than residents in ratio.
Moose you dont wanna kill cause of no quartering to get em out.
Miles from any road.
Ones that blow away state records
Most moose hunting up their is heater hunting logging roads basically...
Legal if you step out 100 ft from a road.
Non residents get preference..... benjamins....
Put in for it 5 yrs running when I 1st joined the army.
Nada...
Put in for cross creeks NWR deer hunt down here in tn x2
20 buck app fee single hunter

They encourage people to have 5 hunters on one application.

Seems same people get drawn regularly here.
Friends and family good ole boy system.
