@wyflyguy How’d the NM sheep hunt go?

I had a fantastic hunt! I saw lots of sheep between a scouting trip and my actual hunt and ended up killing a B&C 182 5/8 ram the second morning (after passing him up on the opening morning). I believe there were only a few larger killed in the state this year. Regardless, I couldn't be more pleased with the hunt, ram or outcome.

Very nice ram, @wyflyguy!

Good to see some of you guys having success in the draw!
I've been a longtime lurker here....really enjoy this forum and the hunting philosophy shared here.

After many years of lots of "unsuccessful" I managed to draw two tags this year. A muzzleloader mule deer tag and a Rocky Mountain bighorn ram tag. I'm still in a bit of shock over that last one.
I also put my oldest son (11yrs) in for the first time this year. He drew his third choice youth deer tag so I'm really excited about that one as well.

Good luck to everyone as you turn your attention to maps and planning! I've hunted deer here in units 22, 23, 24, and 2B. Happy to give a guy some pointers if you're looking for a place to start.

Tell us about the sheep hunt man! Would love to here about it. I had such a blast on my dad's desert bighorn hunt this year here in NM that I wish I could do it again. Maybe I'll be lucky and draw a tag one of these years..

Not gonna lie, this thread popping up again gave me serious anxiety that I somehow missed the NM application deadline for 2020 haha
