I have always been curious on what everyone's opinions are on this. I personally would pick Rocky Mt just because I like their looks better for some reason. What do you say? Or would you even care which?
-
Rocky is my number one choice of any animal in the world. Love them.
-
Rocky for sure. They just look more majestic and pure muscle
-
The two sheep shown are not the same class animal. Take a look at some of the giant dessert rams out there and it's a tougher choice. That being said....dall
-
Desert is a much harder tag and hunting opportunity. So if I was allowed to pick one guaranteed it would have to be Desert. If I had to pick a favorite that would be difficult. Probably would be Rocky Mtn. Though I'd rather tag a big Stone than either of those two. Had to cancel my Stone trip for this year due to all the broadhead supply chain poop. Not sure when I will have another chance. But, maybe one of these days :dunno:

I'm with you RadSav. A good stone sheep hunt would be top pick over pretty much anything else. Throw a Mt.Caribou, Moose and Goat in for good measure. Oh yeah, a Grizz too. Thats's a bummer you had to miss out on your hunt...
-
i go rocky
-
Stone sheep is my favorite then I'd say the Rocky.
-
Rocky, however if you put up a real mature old desert ram, that is one cool critter to have lived a long life in an environment that they do.
-
^ this. most of the photos of desert bighorn I've seen are youngins. That led me to believe they don't get big. There are two huge toads at the taxidermist where I had my elk done and all I can say is :yike:
Shoulda taken a few phone pics :sry:

I would prefer a stone or dall but any would be fine!

Used to be a couple monster rams at the Phoenix zoo. ;) Last time I was there was 1984...so :dunno:
-
They translocated some to the Santa Catalina's, Rad. They've made two transplants of 30 from the Yuma area IIRC. You shoulda seen the Pinkotards go bat-crap when game and fish had to sharpshoot several mountain lions. :chuckle: Lions killed a dozen or more of the sheep :bash:
-
Marco polo for me
-
Stone sheep for sure!
-
Stone sheep is my favorite then I'd say the Rocky.
Stone sheep look the coolest, rocky, desert, then dall
-
Marco polo for me
Being that you are now living in Montana, we know what kind of sheep you REALLY like! :chuckle:

Any sheep is a good sheep :drool:
My first choice would be a stone. Almost impossible to draw and really expensive to hunt.
I love my dall and hope to go on another sheep hunt before I start using a cane. :chuckle:
-
Not picky, would love to hunt any variety of sheep... Except barn yard sheep.

:yike:Wow, are you going Saturday?
-
Żes sir
-
I have to say my favorite looking NA sheep would be a Stone. You cant find a better hunting adventure than a true BC stone sheep backpack trip! IMO.
I've had the chance to be on several rocky and desert sheep hunts and for me the desert sheep hunts are more of a challenge in some real cool and different environments. I think an old ram is a great trophy no mater what variety or score.
-
well your gonna see an old one on Sat. :chuckle:
-
I'm looking forward to see all different varieties of Rams Saturday! Winning a desert sheep hunt will just be icing on the cake!
-
For the guys/gals who won't be at the banquet on Sat, can you guys post some pic's of your different sheep? I would love to see them myself, thanks.
-

Coach,
Looking forward to seeing your ram sat at the event.
I would like to meet you.
I'll buy you a cold one!
-
Sounds good old limp is gonna win me a wsm. ! Lol
-
A Rocky Mountain would be a dream come true!
-
So did any H-W members come out victorious at the banquet?

I ended up with a great deal on a youth bull elk hunt , I guess the one kid in the right age bracket that I know is pretty lucky ! they had a fire ring earn 20 k and the moose tag was a steal for 28k...
-
That lucky kid is still floating about.....
-
I would take any tag! Lol, but if I had my choice, I would love to hunt Stone Sheep. To me, they are the prettiest of the bunch! :twocents:
-
A desert in Nevada or Old Mexico would be a dream come true!
