CA Wild Sheep Foundation dinner

[DLSJR]

Last evening, the California Wild Sheep Foundation, a FNAWS affiliate, held their annual dinner and it was a big success. A couple auction items went for very big money. The ‘Governor’s’ elk tag, which is good for any of California’s 3 elk species (Rocky, Roosevelt, Tule) and any unit, sold for $102,500.

The Desert Bighorn tag, which will be valid in brand new unit 12, sold for a whopping $310,000!!!

Unit 12 is one of 3 new units opening to sheep hunting for the very first time. Expectations are that some very big rams will be taken this year. The tag holder gets to begin hunting a month before anyone else and has a 3-month long season.

Next year’s dinner will be held at a new venue, the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country, on May 1

Bummed I missed it! I’m glad it was a successful night. I’m hoping to draw a tag in one of the new zones.

So is every other eligible applicant. The way to draw this year will be to apply in proven zones as so many applicants will gravitate toward the new zones.

That’s true, and I’ve stayed with the same zone since I started putting I may as well stick to it.

It wasn’t me! I don’t know the guy who won it but he was about 30 feet from me and when they called his name he went absolutely nuts. To say he was excited would be a big understatement.

So was the guy who won the Life Members drawing for a Desert Sheep hunt.
