Congrats on the tag! Talk about a dream come true !

I know you will have the hunt of a lifetime!

The only sad thing is:

Once you have hunted sheep, you are pretty much ruined. :chuckle:

Yep just heard that about 2 hours ago. Lucky guys!

IIRC it was the archery guy at Hooked on Toys who drew, I do know he drew an OIL tag.
