Cross your fingers for me

Just got word that the ND Game and Fish is drawing the names of 7 lucky names out of the 10,380 applicants for their once-in-a-lifetime bighorn sheep tag.

My wife's cousin drew a tag years ago and I was lucky enough to tag along. The second day of the hunt we located two rams about 1.5 miles away and against the advice of the rest of our party and the local sheep expert, I pushed him to follow me in an attempt to get within range before we lost shooting light. It took a bit of convincing and some serious oxygen sucking but I got him to within roughly 275 yards in time for him to fill his tag on a nice 3/4-curl ram. Carrying that thing off of the butte in the dark, whole so it could be skinned out for a full-body mount, took a bit of doing but we got it done. :)

Dang! Those are some pretty long odds, but SOMEBODY has to be drawn! Good luck dufe!

Long odds for sure. I've only been applying for 35 years now, so I'm definitely not holding my breath.

Good Luck Bwana.......But why don't you just go shoot the big goat? that's what we rednecks down south do. its only 1 goat. draw a number my ass just shoot the goat /fuckem

Ha! Shoot a bighorn sheep and they'd throw you UNDER the jail!

Who? The goat?........I didn't know goats had jail's?

Good luck. That's the one animal I've always wanted to hunt.

Good luck, we do the same thing with Elk here after 23 years I got drawn in 2011. I got a nice 7x6 for my troubles.

Good luck Bwana. I hope you get picked. That would be a hunt of a lifetime!

Thanks guys, my fingers are crossed.

Trav, that is a dandy elk, congrats.

A great elk and a darn nice mount too Trav!

Good luck Bwana! I may put in too just to increase your odds. I never win drawings.

Ya' beat me to it! That's an obvious suggestion!

Now there is a GREAT idea Len!

Me thinks the Game and Fish are stalling as there are still no results posted. Yesterday afternoon their webpage stated we could not check the results of the draw while the drawing was in progress. I have a tough time believing it takes more than 24 hours to draw 7 names out of a hat.
