Good job, OP. Self guided private land?

I drew 29/30 in New Mexico this past Feb. I saw a fair number, but not the "one". I also couldn't tell the ewes from mid sized rams. More prep work is needed the next time I draw (if that ever happens).

This herd of 6 was at 180 yards and I later learned the one on the lower right was a ~24 inch Ram. I couldn't see a nut sack on any of them, so I passed. I figured their nuts would be hanging to their knees like on bighorns (and myself of course).


Another lone sheep I spotted in another drainage but passed on.
