Colorado Goat, Rocky Mountain Bighorn and Desert Bighorn drawing results are now available at http://wildlife.state.co.us/database/

A friend of mine, putting in for the first time, drew a Colorado Desert Bighorn tag! Man, I need some of that luck.

I had luck shine on me this year. The only desert ram tag in the Dolores River unit in Southwestern Colorado has my name on it. Its going to be a long 6 months until November 6th.
I'm excited about the prospect of having the unit to myself and not competing with another hunter.

Wow, Mike! That is great! Maybe you will take some great photos and post them here after your scouting trips.

That is neat country around there and I hope your trip turns out to be successful, as well as memorable.

Keep us posted on what you see...it is OK to reveal a big ram you find since you are the only tag holder.

Mike,

Holy moley! What great luck. Is this your first sheep draw tag ever? I certainly wish you the best of luck and a huge old ram. Keep us up to date.

HM,

I drew a Rocky tag in Colorado in 2000 and killed a 10 1/2 year old ram that was 35"x36" in S-9, the Sangre de Christos.

I've been putting in for desert sheep here during my 5 year waiting period just for grins and giggles. I generaly consider myself pretty unlucky when it comes to winning and drawing tags, so I don't even apply in non-resident sheep lotteries with the advent of the application services that flood the draws with apps.

I drew the tag of a lifetime here in Colorado and am absolutely excited beyond belief. I am actually to the point where I'm kind of weirded-out over the whole thing. Today, I'm a half step from booking a dall ram hunt in the Brooks Range in 2005. We are talking full blown infectious case of SHEEP FEVER!

I could be a 3/4 slammer in 15 months but lets not count our chickens yet. I plan on traveling to BC to try and photograph Stones in Muncho Lake Provincial park in the end of September to complete my photographic collection of a 700" photo Grand Slam.
