Female sheep

[mlevimadden]

I am a really big fan of eating good meat. there is a noticeable difference between a bull and cow moose as well as caribou. also where I live and hunt there are no ewe tags that I am aware of but I will be asking about them when I head down to get my tags later this year.

thanks for the responses, it's nice to get some knowledge from others experiences on this site.

I’ve killed 2 bighorn ewes in Colorado as I’ll never draw a ram tag. I had a blast on both hunts. You’re still spending time in beautiful alpine country, glassing rams, and hunting sheep.

I got 40# each from both my ewes. I figured all the talk about sheep meat was just because the tags are so hard to come by, but it really is the best game meat I’ve tried.

I killed my Wyoming ram this past September, a beautiful, full-curl 7-year-old. My Parents and a good friend who accompanied my Dad and I on the hunt shared the meat. We all agreed that it was excellent, and wish we had more of it. For as bad as the old boy stunk when we were quartering him out we couldn't believe how good it was.

Congrats on your ram!

Two of my rams were 8 1/2 years old and the other was 9 1/2, and none of them smelled anywhere as bad as my mountain goat did.
