My email from NDOW was a little different this time.
"NR Silver State Nelson (Desert) Bighorn Sheep Result: Successful"
When selecting the silver state options I am fine making the donation every year. Never did I dream I would get the tag.
I'm not sure it's fully set in that I'll be sheep...
Alamo builds a solid rifle. I've got a 6.5 prc from them and am very happy. If your gun doesn't shoot .5 moa they will fix it. Give them a call and talk to them if you are concerned.
Love this thread. I had no clue what it took to get to 300" either. If this bull wouldn't have broken his 5th he would have been ~310", as is he was right at 300". Just like your bull he had short main beams. It's all the more impressive when guys can get it really close on the hoof.
Thank you everyone. I appreciate the help and advice.
Cabela's is my best option for ordering.
I've read of a few people hand loading BH209 and then just pulling the bullets or cutting shotgun shells open when they get there. Seems like a reasonable method no different than a loaded bullet...
I know supplies are limited. I've got some at home but am flying up for a hunt in a few weeks. I wanted to see if I could order some and pick it up locally before I figure out about shipping some up there.
Do you have any preference points? If not they start selling them in July. Buy them.
They will help your draw odds.

I just talked to my guide and he said the deer are way down. Offered my deposit back if I want to turn the tag back. Said haven't seen a deer that would hit 180".
Not the news I was hoping to hear. Anyone turned their tag back before in NV? I'm sure it will be a while before I draw again but...
If you did the hunt out of behal, it is a little different. There are two great outfits to go with. Unless outdoor int can get you a spot which is very hard to get then in not sure the benefit they offer.

Well I've got 1 pending charge for $100 on my cc. I'm assuming they've complete Mountain Goat and we are still waiting on sheep.
Anyone else out there have a pending charge for the full amount?
