2013 Sheep Show update

[tstowater]

A book ram in MT? Could be one or two.

I'm guessing two people with money think world record, not just book. That's an impressive price and won't include the scouting and guide expense to the tune of a few more dollars.

Had a good time meeting everyone. Looks like I will be pulling the trigger for 2014 archery sheep. Met with Tom Shankster from AK Trophy hunts seems like a good guy gave me reference list and video of this years hunts and told me to make calls watch video then give deposit. Talked to guy workin B&C booth and he shot a B&C ram with Tom with a long bow

That is awesome shaun, now if you can just make it a live hunt...

Wasn't New Mexico selling a desert tag at the convention? Anybody know what that went for? Saw pics of a ram they think'll go over 200 down there.

Nevermind, that's tonight.

Got a call while out goose hunting today. Turns out I won the <1 Club Dall sheep hunt!!! I can't thank the WSF enough for this oppurtunity, there is no way I would be able to go on a sheep hunt without this!

How about the US flag that was flown at Bagram Air Force base in Afganastan that just sold for 100k. Goes to show that these sheep guys are not just in it for themselves. Well done WSF. I would assume this was bought and donated back multiple times to reach the 100k but it does not matter. This group of folks are some of the most generous people around and truly care about the wild sheep conservation effort.

Congratulations on the hunt. Either of the hunts would be fantastic! Can't say it will be the hunt of the lifetime, but the beginning of a journey that is hard to describe. Guarantee that you will find a way to hunt another one.

Well I got to meet Aron and the guys at Kryptek. Nice guys and very knowledgeable to say the least. The borealis shirt seems to be a great piece of gear that I plan to invest in soon. I also got to try on some packs that I have been eyeing as well.

That sorts the men from the boys. Last time I went to a sheep show I was sitting next to a guy from Wisconsin and he was bidding on the Idaho tag (11 was available that year). When the price got to about $100K, he asked me what I thought. I told him my opinion, but also told him that I wasn't the one bidding. He ended up the the tag and I think got a nice sheep. The same year, a guy bought the New Mexico tag for $100K+ and redonated it. Fun show to go to. Hopefully I can get back next year.

Awesome show and congrats to all the winners. Can't wait for the nbu dinner this year and sheep show next year. Also got to meet Aron yesterday he is a Down to earth guy it was good talking to him.

Just the new 1850 day pack is all i saw.

 

[Dinkshooter]

I had a great time at Reno. Always impressive to see the high rollers play.

Stopped by and talked with Mr. Snyder. He gave me a demo on his new pack design and showed me how much weight it would carry.......

I also had a great time at the show. A few things stood out to me: 1.) The Kifaru Bikini frame/ Highcamp bag is a must-have by deer season. 2.) I can't wait to get some 15x56's. Definitely going with the Vortex, especially since the Swaro's don't close narrow enough for my eyes. 3.) The new Leica's are ugly, and feel strange in the hand (*to me). 4.) The new Vortex spotters are even nicer in person than they are on paper (ergonomics, quality, feel).

It was great to meet you guys, looking forward to more encounters in the future.
