" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

        Its going to be a true hunt of a life time. One of my close friend that lives in Montana drew the same tag. Were going to meet up Sept. 11th and see what happens.

Can someone please tell me why in the hell a moose tag is more saute after than a bighorn.  To me, a bighorn represents the ultimate in game species and the greatest North American big game animal there is, in the world for that matter.  It still blows me away that 12,000 can put in for 26 moose tags and only half of that for sheep.  Believe me, as a hunter a moose is right up there towards the top, but there is no way on earth i would put a moose hunt over a bighorn but i guess that is just me.  All i need is one tag, so someone stick up for me and tell the WDFW to hand one over or i will hold someone for ransom. :chuckle:

I want to hunt sheep in this state someday but I really couldn't care less about what the head scores. I would try for a mature animal but only because it would provide more meat than a smaller animal. I'd be doing the hunt for the experience #1, and for the meat #2. I'm not even sure what the heck I'd do with the horns. I know I wouldn't be willing to spend any money to get the head mounted.
