One thing to consider is that young people just now beginning to apply for sheep may not EVER draw the tag. The max point pool is so far ahead of a kid just now turning 10 that in order to catch it they are simply going to have to outlive everyone else. In order to start accumulating sheep points with the intent of reaching max points, and then donating the tag to the kid, the Mom would have had to start applying 10 years before he was even born. Another consideration is that if Mom donated the tag that means Mom had to go on the hunt. If she was willing to apply long enough to draw the tag, and then hike into sheep country with a 10 year old in tow, she has earned the right to let the kid take the ram, in my opinion.

Bump for a good guy and a clean bow.

It could have been worse, he could have had a big sugary drink or got a note from the school telling his parents he was fat. cause you know its the school districts job to raise our kids, not educate them.

I saw this one headed down the 202 Friday afternoon around 5.

You may see a pending charge a day or two before your card is actually debited, but other than that you don't see anything until they charge your card.

Wouldn't it be tape shrinking? If the tape got bigger the score would actually be lower. I think this is what I have been doing on all my coues deer.

Looks like a good time. Congrats on the big ole Tom.

Stud buck and looks like pretty good taxi work. Nice job.

Congrats Casey! Both my boys were early, they turned out alright.

You're sick. That's like falsely telling a bunch of kids at fat camp that they are having chilli dogs for dinner. Its against the constitution.

It sure looks like it took a whack between the eyes to me. My taxidermist just sent me pics of my bears broken jaw that was discovered when he started taking the hide off the head.

How does that compare with previous years? If my memory serves me correctly that's a big up-swing.

Make, model, etc?

Thanks Steve. Feeling is mutual, I can't wait to go shoot this thing.

Holy cutters!

Looks like a great time and a big ole oinker. I can't wait to have these experiences with my boys.

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

Awesome collection. Color me jealous.

Who knows maybe we will run into each other sometime since it looks we are neighbors on the member map. If you draw that 22 Late tag let me know and maybe I can help you out, I have spent some time in that unit and would love to do it again.

1/2A/2C Juniors - 19% (4 for the Bonus Pass) 3A/3C - 17% (4 for the Bonus Pass) 27 Early Archery - 13% 27 Late Rifle - 27% 17% 6A Late Muzzy - 15% (If the quota is not met in the Bonus Pass) 7W Late Rifle - 13% (If the quota is not met in the Bonus Pass) 3B Early Bull - 2% There was no lat cow hunt in 3B last year so I don't have data to give you on that. However, based on a comparison between 6A and 3B bull hunts, I would project odds for someone with 2 points at near 60%. Good luck to all!

Stopped by the booth and also listened to Steve today. I make sure to catch him every year, I learn something every time. That guy is a great representative for the AES.

That is a bitter sweet ending. Commendable of you to stick with him and not try to harvest another animal. Well done, I am glad you found him one way or the other.

Good tips. Thanks.

I believe that they may have been refering to 2.5x the number of online applicants. Last year there was a lot of skepticism about using it and its reliability. I would guess that most of the new applicants were folks who switched over from paper apps last year.
