Jimmy John kills potential new state record sheep in NM

[khunter]

Hunts like this are what helps put sheep hunts out of reach for a lot of people.

Only the ultra wealthy have access to hunts like this.

I ain’t mad at him for his success, I just hate what some hunting is seeming to become; following some European countries where only the wealthy can afford to hunt at all.

Many folks are against auction sheep tags, but then some of the same folks will defend the graft that is the New Mexico EPLUS privatized elk voucher system.

I'll play devil's advocate. Would we celebrate someone who pays big $$$ to play for a yr in the NBA, MLB, etc? They wouldn't have the talent or skill to compete, but money allows them to.

Who is celebrating anything other than a giant ram?? the ram is the record not the shooter. The shooter just gets to hold it.

This unit has a public tag too this year.. It will also result in another 200” ram. Let make sure we take cheap shoots at the hunter when he/she brings or hires a team

I never once stated I personally had an issue with it. You inferred that. As long as it was done legally, I have no issue with it. It's a really nice ram.

I just explained the obvious as to why people don't care for these auction tag situations.

You are correct there, i misworded that one. I meant to say "is the reason so many have an issue with it.." not you specifically. My bad

No worries. It didn't offend me. We're just having a good discussion.

Yup! Honestly, im currently being tattooed so i was a bit distracted during all my posts in this thread so far lol. Im all for hashing out discussions, i think i was basically just trying to say something along the lines of the constant jumping to negativity gets old for me. Some people dont ever have anything nice or helpful to say about stuff. Not just here, online in general of course

Far as jimmy himself, i never met the guy and ive only seen a couple of his hunt videos.. but in my opinion he seems like a better person with more class than some of other people doing these hunts I've seen videos of. I do enjoy jimmy johns sandwiches from time to time tho

how? There is a draw tag in same unit this year and they will probably kill a 200” sheep also.

You can also buy a desert sheep for less than you probably spent on your pick up. Hell you can buy a Rocky for less then a lot of trucks and suburbans now a days

 

[mtnbiker208]

So what should he do with his money that he made?
He definately has employed some people while hunting.

 

[flathead#2]

Guy shows up, wipes the sammich crumbs off his shirt, kills a state record.
Sounds familiar.

All you have to do to be POS on RS is to have more then one elk tag, only thing worse then having more then one elk tag, is being NR with more then one elk tag, And if you really want to make Matt Rinella’s thread pay a trespass fee to kill one on private

Or bring up kenetic energy or say you shoot a big 30 cal magnum for elk! Lol

I’ll keep buying more #9’s and he’ll keep killing animals I had zero chance of ever getting in my scope. I’ve got not problem with it.

Crunchy jalapeños? That’s been a thing this whole time?!

They've been on the menu a few months. Changes the jj's experience.

Wow! What a magnificent ram.

Can we see some pics, the link doesn’t work! Thats what I came here for

I don’t have a Facegram or whatever so I asked my wife to look it up. She grabbed a screenshot and sent me this.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Jealous? No. I could afford a hunt like that. I just choose not to.

You really have no clue what you are talking about. Your figure above is not even close. I also expect you have no clue where he got this tag, and where that money goes. Typical ignorance, which is why these sorts of stories always draw out these kinds of responses. Social media is bad is many ways, and this is a great example. If you ever want to hunt a sheep you should be grateful for his ability to give so much.

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Oh, I have a clue. You are just ignorant as to how much money I have.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ok big baller.

You were way off, but I’ll give you the answers. He paid $600k for the NM tag and $600k for the CO tag. That’s $1.2M for sheep and the agencies that support them. And those are only the two I know about

How much did you give?
