yeah he netted 161 4/8. game an fish counted themselves 7 rings so dustin thought he was 8. personally think he's 9 as well as my buddies that outfit sheep but can't barely make out rings with his horns being so dark. who knows. either way 8-9 years of age isn't a bad.

Game and Fish was off by 3 years and 4 inches on my daughter's ram.  I had two separate B&C scorers provide a second opinion.  They independently agreed on the older age and were within 1/8" of each other on score.

I know wilderness here in 35a you can't use mountain bikes. Is that statewide in all wilderness areas? With all those roads a nice bike would be sweet.

Nation Wide.

It would kill me to have to walk those roads in the flats knowing they were drivable.  If I'm going to walk i wanted it where nobody can drive.  Main reason i never applied for the Cabeza Prieta.

You can just walk on top of the mountains and you won’t find any roads

All units have roads but the Prieta is unique in that you have to park a LONG ways from the sheep and then walk in on roads across the flats. I can't get beyond that. Sorry.

There might be a hunt that just encompasses the superstition wilderness?
