Title: Drew a Colorado Ram Tag!
Post by: DGW on May 02, 2012, 10:01:00 AM
After putting in every year since 1988 I finally drew a Ram tag. I thought this was never going to happen. This is a hunt I have dreamed about for years.   Dan

Congrats and good luck to you.  

Enjoy it, I don't think a sheep hunt can ever be a failure regardless of the outcome!!!!!

I suspect that the experience will be worth a lifetime of memories.

Congrats on drawing your Ram Tag. Nothing beats a failure but a try, and a winner never quits and a quiter never wins. Good luck when you do go.

I drew S15 it is a rifle unit. I will hunt it with a longbow. Over the years I have put in for all the good archery units and just could not draw. the odds looked a little better here and closer for my brother to scout. also thought with just 5 ram tags should not take long for most of the gun guys to fill and hopefully will run in to less competition at the last of the hunt. Hope my thinking works out. I just have to find them in a huntable place and make a good stalk.

That is a great plan and with local support, you are in for a big treat!  Good luck.  I hunted S12 archery in 2007.  Close but no ram.

Dan:  There are a lot of experienced sheep hunters that will be at the CTAS High Country shoot.  I would use the opportunity to talk to as many people as possible about sheep hunting. They may not know about your specific unit, but can provide you with some insight on sheep hunting tactics.   Jim

Congratulations.  I was beginning to think that the names that were drawn were fictitious and they really aren't giving out any tags.
Title: Re: Drew a Colorado Ram Tag!
Post by: DGW on May 04, 2012, 04:15:00 PM
Jim:That is for sure Colordo has some of the most hardcore trad hunters I have ever met the list is very long on the ones that can get it done. Thats a great looking ram in your pic, I will be picking your brain about sheep hunting.
Thanks Dan
