2022 Sheep Hunts

[Chadp82]

Colorado's draw for sheep and goat just happened. No dice here. I had RM Bighorn two years ago, so now going after desert sheep which is a 100% lottery system in Colorado.

Not sure on the draw schedule for other states, but curious if anyone had the lucky ticket this year

Can't wait to see some pictures this fall!

I just do desert bighorn but I'm up to 12 goat points and still no dice.

No luck here and don't have the 30K+ saved up yet to just buy one. Be at least a few years for me I'm guessing.

I drew a tag for RM bighorn. Trying to get a gear list in order now. Diet and exercise started. I'm not in bad shape but not in sheep shape either.

S21. It's pretty close to me so I can take weekend trips for scouting and test gear before I spend a extended amount of time hunting.

I've got 30 points going into the AZ sheep draw this year. My draw odds are still less than 1% for the medium tier units. I am moving up to 5%-7% in the least desirble units. Near as I can tell, I will be too old to go once I get drawn for a mid-tier unit. Welcome to my life. Ha!

I have a friend, who is not on this forum, that drew his second CO Rocky tag!
He also drew a moose a couple of years ago, so I'm planning to take him to Vegas with me!

I've got 19 bighorn points here in CO, and no luck this year. Hoping I draw before I get too old. At 63 I don't go as far or as fast as I used too… but I'm still going

Don't give up! I've drawn both of Arizona's Sheep tags, Desert and Rocky as well as a NR Colorado tag in the San Juan's above Pagosa. All are on the wall along with an Alaskan Dall's. Not everything works out. I've hunted Stone's twice near Toad river BC for 28 days total and never saw a legal ram. That still hurts!!! JM

Ouch JM,
I also had to go on a second Stone hunt to finish my slam, but fortunately, for me, I was able to find an old dark ram and finish.
Getting all four requires lots of luck and $$$$. But you have to start with one and it's usually a lucky draw tag!

I know one of the lucky Desert BHS draw recipients from NM this year. That's my only claim to fame.

A friend and I are booking an Oufad hunt in West Texas this year, using all the refunded money from our unsuccessful bids. Just making Lemonade I guess.

I drew a ewe tag on first attempt with 3 points. I figured I could do that or continue to build points, apply for the rest of my life and never draw a tag for a ram.
