$1.3 Million Ram

[ElDiablito]

Nothing like having a “team” of 27 dudes on a hunt…..

GT, I image between NM, MX, TX and running cats he needs new pair every year.

Looks like those “new boots” only have inside the truck mileage on them

Great ram. Congrats to the shooter.

I’m sure, his season just started back up.

Yes. This one.

It’s amazing how many people contribute to these threads from a position of ignorance.

Abraham Lincoln had a great quote about this.

Lots of issues for NM sheep, they can greatly use the extra $1.3M plus matching funds to help. Thanks to that hunter/rich dude who donated the $1,240,000 than all the license money NM sheep tags raised. Odds are it was well over 10x the money raised by the raffle tag.

Systems like Utah are NFG but one raffle tag and one auction tag do wonders to raise valuable funds for the species that can’t be robbed by the general fund scum…

Massive ram!

I was serious when I asked who shot it? The dude on the left or the dude on the right? Is it customary to take pictures with the whole crew?

I bet the shooter was very happy all those dudes in the photo were there to help. And I bet they were proud they had a hand in taking such an awesome animal. It’s very common to have a group photo if you have been hunting with a group. I’m sure he has more than a few with the guide that directly guided him and even more with just himself.

I am guessing the older gentleman wearing the Breland Homes hat in the other FB photo shot it.

He has taken some big rams.

Ah I never went to FB to check

The $hitty thing is that the public draw tag starts Sunday and Game and Fish just decided to do their aerial count via helicopter, pushing the herd. There’s another almost equal ram the public lady’s crew located. Conspiracy is that NMGF wants to push that ram into Bandelier (no hunting) so they can sell it for another cool million next year.

Also, Hornady is sponsoring the public tag winner. Got her fully outfitted and shooting some ELDX apparently. I’m sure it’ll be professionally filmed.

That is $hitty. People and “the government” will typically find a way to ruin just about anything.

For a forum that is mostly about DIY backpacking style hunts, it’s hard to relate to the rich guy who drops $1.3 million on a tag and hires a small army of guides to go find him a monster ram.

But I can’t judge. Honestly for him… this probably is the equivalent financially of going on a typical guided hunt for the rest of us peasants . And the money for the tag goes to a good cause…

 

[SloppyJ]

Goes well with his brand new boots he's wearing!

But good for that dude.

 

[JohnnyB]

A little envious if I am being honest but hey, he outbid me by a few bucks fair and square.

I’m not mad at the guy, I just think it’s stupid. Not only that it just guarantees “regular” people will never have an opportunity like that.

And for all tha talk about how great it is for sheep herds/hunting, that’s getting to the point most people can’t afford them either (as evidenced on here by people leveraging their mortgage or retirement Togo hunt one) so how is that great for the average guy that would like to hunt a sheep?

Us “regular” people never have those opportunities once the bidding starts. I think the Taos Pueblo tag got auctioned off for like 80k a few years back which is closer to regular guy money but still not really.

Life isn't fair and not everyone gets a trophy. The fact that wealthy people support the hunting industry and wildlife conservation is awesome. If you can't afford sheep there's plenty of other things to hunt. Unless Robin Hood comes along, wealthy people will be able to afford nicer things than us peasants.
