@BowfinaticIt was actually a draw tag on this sheep. What an awesome sheep
A friend of mine knows 2 of the guides. They said it was a draw hunt. i don't have hunt details@Bowfinatic
I would highly doubt it was a draw. But would love to know your source on if it was draw or Governor. also, would like to hear more of the story if anybody knows
Definitely a draw tag.@Bowfinatic

Was it the Pecos unit where they got this ram ??A friend of mine knows 2 of the guides. They said it was a draw hunt. i don't have hunt details
That's an understatement .... Considering he got that on a lottery draw. He isn't that old, so it's possible he could have drawn that on his first try, especially if he was in the outfitters draw pool, which I guarantee you he was. In NM Going through an outfitter as a non Resident increases the draw odds some to probably like 1-1.5 percent vs what "would" be far less than 1%. I'm gonna start applying through an outfitter like that in the future.Wow!
Oh wow... would love to see some pics of the one you got. Yeah, I think I remember seeing that 188 photo (post harvest) from the Governor tag in wild sheep magazine a Lil while back. Did you get that tag on a raffle ? or was it the normal state tag draw ??.Yea I took a really nice ram. One of the 180+ ones floating around. Governor tag holder was in the week before as I was scouting prior to my season opening. He took a 188" if I remember correctly. Have lots of photos of his ram on the hoof and in person when he harvested. Nobody harvested the 190"+ ram that year. Haven't seen or heard any harvest of that large ram, so I'm sure he is dead somewhere up there on the mountain. Once you get into sheep hunting it does turn into an obsession... I check all the time to see which rams are posted/ harvested.
