Colorado Sheep/Goat Results up

Quite a few ram tags were drawn with 3+0 and 3+1 this year.

S9 archery ram was luckbox central: 8 of the 11 tags went to guys with 3+3 or less (including a nonres tag with 3+0 and a youth with 3+0).
 
Nada for me. Maybe year number 23 will be my lucky one.
I hope someone here drew

Some poor dude with 3 + 15 put in for unit 17 (managed for low population) and didn't draw it. The tag went to a lucky dude that was 3 + 1.

Still shows that in a bonus point system you still can get lucky (or unlucky).

Mt Evans ewe tag went as a 2nd choice...so if you happened to throw in a 2nd choice (I didn't), you had a 20% chance at that tag and get to keep your points.

I don't even want to advertise some of the stuff in the draw report - Can I delete this thread? :)
 
I took a big cut and missed...one lucky applicant drew an S61 ram tag with 3+0...what a gift for them!!

I saw that, too! We were just at Purgatoire for my friends RFW turkey tag and talked to Steve (ranch owner/manager) for a long time about the history of the sheep down in that country. Fascinating and such awesome country.

The Purg RFW tag went to a high point holder, but that guy who drew the normal 61 tag is in for a treat in his/her first year of eligibility!
 
The area is a special place indeed; from parietal art to dinosaur tracks to getting the feeling that one has stepped back in time, I thoroughly enjoyed my PCMS pronghorn hunt there 2 years ago. The tarantulas were on the move, the cholla plant made me question how a benevolent creator could make such a plant and the hunting wasn't too bad either. ;)
 
no sheep for me....that's ok because I'm drawing moose in Idaho, mtn goat in NV and Sheep in UT. I'm going to have a fall that would kill the average man. :)

Not to hijack the sheep/goat draw discussion - but I am in love with the country in S61. I had the Purg turkey tag in 2014, but was assigned to a southern tract (still awesome) This year we were right in the red rocks across from the original sheep release site (5+ miles from the dinosaur tracks) The pic below is a life-size deer petroglyph 50 yards from the tent (which would make it 550 yards from the gobbler we roosted and my buddy harvested)

I'm still picking cactus spines out of everything that made the trip.
