Title: I thought I was dreaming
Post by: Shedrock on May 04, 2010, 11:41:00 AM
I stayed home from work this morning just to see the drawing results for sheep, moose, and goat. After close to twenty years of trying, I drew a sheep tag! Not a big deal to alot of you folks, but a HUGE deal to me. WOW! I still can't believe it.

I wonder what my super will say when I tell him I need a month off work?

I'm not bragging guys, just REALLY PUMPED!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I am happy for you.   Thanks for sharing.  

Cannot wait to read the stories and see the pictures.

BTW:  When you tell the boss you need a month off, don't tell him or her that you took the morning off just to watch the lottery.  That might be a bad start to the conversation. :-)

Thanks Randy! I for sure won't be going alone in that griz infested country.

You are always welcome in my camp! You may have to get over here some year and hunt pronghorns with me.

Thank's for all the kind words and encouragement. This will be the most mental and physical hunt I have been on.

I WILL take plenty of photos. I just need to learn how to post them on this site!

Barney, I will contact you with some ?'s in the near future. I did draw area 1 near you. This area is six hours plus from my house. I will be doing a ton of phone and internet "scouting".

Dang, I could've helped you better with 2,3 and most of 5. I know a guy that guides for sheep, I'll try to get ahold of him.

In the state of Washington you can win a lottery to hunt a Sheep just one time in your life (if you get your sheep)!!! Yeah, that is a big deal, Congrat's man and good luck.

Very big deal to me. I guess I'm going to skip out on elk, Nebraska whitetail, and also eat my Arizona deer tag this year. I will get a few pronghorn hunts in, and for sure, mule deer. (I can't live with out hunting mulies!)

The tag arrived in the mail today, not a dream!
