Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Nice! We have them on my deer lease. I think they thrive anywhere. We shoot them as pests, because they are crowding the deer out. Killed this one year before last. republic commando wallpaperGot this one with a bow a few years ago. Not big big they are more wary than a deer. nearest mobile

Far West Texas can be a real sheep hunt. Hill Country, not so much.

That's really a nice one there Hanco. What did he measure? What's the nearest city (town) to your lease??

They look like tough critters. Are they hard to put down?

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.

This herd is at 350 or so. Same deal. I figured they were ewes but I was later told otherwise. Oh well. They were fun anyhow.
