But sheep are soon easy.

But sheep are so easy.

 Not in the units he could hunt, at least not "big" rams.

The ram was a legal ram taken in a legal unit and he had a tag for it.

Wow.     The guy hasn't been convicted of anything related to the subject elk, but people feel the need to take snide shots at his ram.

Not HW's finest hour.

come on guys there is nothing wrong with that ram. It was taken within the peramiters of the tag he had! Really low blow.

The ram was shot on Eaton and went 163 1/4 which puts it in the Washington book. So back to school on scoring and judging sheep

Works for me.  Bet it eats good.

If you are convicted of poaching, aren't you removed from big game record books? I thought that's how B&C operates anyways?

Looks like an 8 year old ram.  Nothing wrong with that.  Wouldn't have got much bigger as the annuli are close together at the base...   

How did we get onto sheep?

Next hearing is June 21.  It's a pre-trial scheduling conference.  If I had money I'd bet it will be continued...

That picture of the "spike" is gold.  If I were an attorney I would hold a picture of that up and then Bullwinkle and ask the difference.  There has to be 1 person out of 6 that will bite...

That was me. I just asked if he filled the sheep and buck tags and if anybody had pics to share? The serial downward was not me.

That's a baby ram, and I think it still has milk on its lips! 
 

yea but this is some funny stuff 

[Rainier10]

Anybody got pics of the ram and general area (unit)?

Some big great white hunter must have killed that baby ram. 

 A trophy is in the eye of the beholder yes?

 Perhaps the hunt was more about the experience and time spent with family/friends.

 I agree it's not a "big" or "high scoring" ram, but I've seen similar class elk, whitetail, blacktail and mule deer displayed as proudly by several members of this site, hailed as trophies with almost 100% agreement, simply because of the circumstances.

The quoted negativity is why some many others don't share field photos here anymore.  What the heck?

That is a legal ram and nicer than any ram I have on the wall or probably ever will have.  Heck if I ever get drawn, even if it is one of the ewe tags I am going to be proud of it.

A good percentage of the posts seem motivated out of jealousy that Reichert can afford to buy these tags. The sheep had nothing to do with this topic yet it got drug in and snide remarks were made and mostly just because the guy was smart enough to find a way to make a good living. Pretty disgusting!

[257 Wby Mag]

I agree dale, if it was a everyday average joe that killed that bull, it wouldn't of even rated a speed bump on hunt wa.....

[idahohuntr]

One person made a snide remark about the sheep - then a bunch of folks pointed out that was uncalled for citing the hunt was legal, trophys are in the hunters mind etc.

A lot of the folks who have provided the most insight into this case were the first to call out the snide remark regarding the sheep 

Sorry - I just don't see it as people jealously picking on Reichert.  All of the negative press and attention Reichert has received are almost entirely the result of his own actions.
