I got the bad news email for sheep. It made me feel a little better to see a tag charge on my card and to see that my goat points are zeroed out.

I got the good news email a couple of hours ago for a desert sheep in Colorado, and I think I may have drawn the only NR desert tag. Oddly enough, my son drew a Cali tag last year in Oregon so we are on a crazy run of luck. Unit S62 is my hunt.

I didn't draw sheep or goat.
Oh my gosh that is so awesome.
You pulled the only desert sheep tag offered to nr.
We definitely need a full report from here to slay day.
I blanked out too. Looking forward to a report

It hasn't sunk in yet at all. Read the email during work meetings and haven't had time to relax and gather my thoughts. I had just read my son's rejection email from CPW below….
And I was quickly scanning the one I got an hour later. With a quick glance, instead of what I was expecting to see, which would be the same email my son got, I saw the below
And I had to pause and look deeper. It looked legit but I wasn't going to let myself get excited until I knew for sure. Then I saw they charged my CC for about $2700 and I figured it was right, but called CPW to confirm.
The whole experience is surreal - I experienced it last year when my 14 year old drew a John Day tag, and it is the same feeling as I had today. It will hit me sometime soon, but I'm also just dumbfounded at the luck. Last year my son and I went on a hunt and I got to see him shoot his sheep, and now this year it will be my turn and he will come on the hunt with me. I just can't believe it.

I remember the feeling when I drew my Rocky Mountain Bighorn tag a few years ago. A friend texted and said no sheep tag and asked how I did. I had no email. I went to CPW's site and my points went to zero but no indication at that time on the account page. I assumed I was waiting on my +1 point, and glad I was wrong. About an hour later the email hit!
Enjoy the experience! We hope to see a story later this year!

Not sure yet but probably with a guide on a once in a lifetime hunt.

Congrats on the tag. My buddy drew the only nonresident archery bighorn tag in CO last year. He's unbelievably lucky. He just keeps drawing tags he shouldn't and I can't seem to draw anything.
I'm not a person who gets down too often but I really feel like a loser after every application season.
