Might be the best of all the species to hunt that's so awesome.

"Might" be?  It's a no brainer!   :chuckle:

That is awesome, congratulations.  That is going to be a great hunt.  My guess is it will be a very close second place to your kids moose hunt but what a fall season you guys are going to have. Really happy for you.  :tup:

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Thank you all for the kind words....  It's starting to sink in.  I think it's fair to say I've thought more about sheep in the last 20 hours than I have the rest of my life.  I've always loved big bulls, mules and would love to one day kill a good bull moose, but sheep seemed too far of a reach. 

I've never killed a big game animal in this state with a rifle and would like to keep that streak going.  It's a long season and while I would shoot one with a rifle, the days/harvest stats on prior hunts make me feel I'd like to up the challenge.

I'm sure there's a Montana or Texas joke in this but I got sheep on the brain!  My boys cow moose will take priority during his season....what a year, God is Good!

Congrats on a one in a million win, Gringo. I'm so happy that a long term Hunt-WA guy got a tag like this. Here's to an amazing fall for you.

How would a guy ever decide where to start with a opportunity like this raffle?
I'd be stressed and overwhelmed if it were me.  :chuckle:
Looking forward to pics
