AZkiller Report post Posted December 5, 2016 Let me state this right off --- I'm no sheep "expert." I've never seen The Ghost myself, 'tho others I know have over the years. As has been mentioned, he hasn't been seen in the last year in areas in the U.S. he has previously roamed (no proof I know of that he's died, but it's possible). It's suspected he has never respected our nation's southern border. "Flat Top" is a ram I hunted (and called by another name) in 2013 --- he should be 12 years old now. 3 hunters are left to tag out in that unit (unless one of them killed today). DEFINITELY not either of the rams talked about in this thread. The unit's other well-known Class IV ram, "Brute," was found dead of natural causes earlier this year. From what I've heard, as of now the huge ram mentioned in this thread, "Curly," has eluded the special tag holder and his guide(s). I would think he'd turn up again next summer if a lucky hunter, human or feline, doesn't seal his fate before then. It's not unusual for rams in our state to seem to disappear, whether due to extreme topography or their own whimsy (rams seemingly don't know themselves what they're likely to do or go 5 minutes before they do it). Nothing like our desert bighorn sheep --- VERY special animals!!! 3 of the hunters have tagged out in that unit now. 2 170's and 1 150's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZkiller Report post Posted December 5, 2016 If I had that tag and found out he was on the Rez, I'd be singing that one song, "this land your land, this land is my land" If I had that tag I would have gotten my azz out here when my guide called me and said that he had him the day before my hunt started. Now I hope an average joe shoots him this week! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted December 5, 2016 That's what I mean, if I had a draw tag. If I had the auction tag, I'd die of a hooker overdose before I got to use it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
