Not surprised.  They have giant sheep in MT.

Probably stemmed from the archery world record that the governors tag holder killed last year. I think he only payed 300k. Only  :chuckle:

I ran into a very accomplished lady hunter at a bar in central MT, her lady friend had one of the breaks sheep tags and they had been hunting hard for what they figured was a world record sheep they had seen. Very possible this is the sheep or one of the sheep that prompted the high auction price.  :dunno:

Governors tag so where ever but got to be headed for the breaks for that money. That's where the monsters are.

" 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

That is unreal. How many of you would ever pay that  much even if you were rich?
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.
