Hunt every year and never see a legal ram or a rat race to a squeaker.
How many pics are posted on this website that actually shows 170 + sheep or 9 year old rams.

I would rather go on two or three hunts that have the potential of lasting 3 months each and be of real quality and trophy potential than just going for a nice hike in the hills.


Why do you continue to assume what the concern is?



Considering the many pictures of 8-11 year old 180+ rams taken this year I have seen (and I am not in the loop as many others are) I have a hard time believing that any hunt doesn't hold the potential for a " real quality trophy" to be killed.

Now of course I must admit that these rams were taken by hunters that have put in a pile of time and educated effort.....
