Thank you Mr. Casey Brooks Internet Protection Squad. I hope you also got a replica set of sheds for defending his honor online. -

New world record archery bull
The internet wasn't invented 6 months ago. That bull would've been out there in exactly the same manner had it been a world record or 20 inches short. Casey and his son both have well established social media profiles. Well, I guess we wouldn't have known about the weird... -

Differences in Dall, Stone, RM Bighorn, D Bighorn hunts
There's only one outfitter in Alaska that has a sheep worth that much and last I heard their waiting list has been closed for several years. That's on par or more than the non-heli outfits in the NWT. -

New world record archery bull
"The whale only gets harpooned when he spouts" There's a lot of independently wealthy people whose interests (and everyone else) would be far better served never publicizing shooting big animals and how much they paid for it. There are more people that operate this way than don't, I can't... -

Differences in Dall, Stone, RM Bighorn, D Bighorn hunts
Midnight Sun is showing $70k and Tombstone $75k for hunts today, but I would take a gander that when they actually have hunts available in 2028 or 2029 or 2057 those numbers are actually more like $85k or $90k. So what's that, a 10-20% discount for a white sheep with 5-100 black hairs that you... -

Is the current high tag demand a bubble that will crash in the next 10 years?
Not to single out any one reply, but there's a lot of observations in this thread that are anecdotal such as "I see lots of 20 somethings getting into the sport" or "I'm still going to be elk hunting at 75." Those are all valid observations, but there's actual peer reviewed research out there...- OMB

Planning a once in a lifetime sheep hunt
Ben Stourac at Arcadia also has Iron North Outfitters in the Yukon (formerly Widrig Outfitters.) That concession is on the Yukon/NWT border across from ARRO. -

Is the current high tag demand a bubble that will crash in the next 10 years?
NM governor's tag this year is very much an outlier. I ran some numbers out of curiosity earlier this week and for the most part, auction sheep tags are just moving with inflation. An outlier here and there with a particular tag where there's a known giant ram, sure. But inflation since 2007 has...- OMB

Anyone going to the Reno Sheep Show next month?
That's great, I'm glad that herd is doing great. But it does seem a bit like overall, we're just treading water on sheep or playing whack a mole without making super meaningful progress. We've been told constantly over the last 20 years that this money is putting more sheep on the mountain, but... -

Differences in Dall, Stone, RM Bighorn, D Bighorn hunts
Two of the most in shape Cross Fit Games type people I've ever met both missed huge Dall sheep under 200 yards in a guided, controlled shooting situation. -

Coyote?
Seem to remember a podcast interview with Dan Flores, author of the book American Coyote (great read), where he basically said if you're someone that would shoot one, it's two syllables. If you're not inclined to shoot them, it's three syllables. Sort of rural/urban divide.- OMB

New world record archery bull
His great grandfather, Henry Casey, was the brother of Jim, who founded UPS. Seems like Henry split off and was successful in his own right and helped start the Casey Family Foundations with his siblings, a group of philanthropies that has around $2.5B in assets today. I quite frankly don't... -

Bipod ?
Where are you going to be hunting and what ranges are you comfortable with? How comfortable are you with whatever bipod you're shooting with, and not off a bench? Lots of good suggestions in this thread, but I'd rather shoot off a pack. There's a bomber Dall ram that died of old age because... -

30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?
I've had similar performance with Hornady SST sabots out of a 12 gauge and FTX bullets in a 45-70 at times. Doing a lot of doe control in hilly country, I want them to drop where they're at above or near logging roads. Shooting them on the shoulder solves the problem entirely. There's not enough...- OMB
