Silver State Nelson Bighorn Tag

[Slick8]

Congrats to you and what an opportunity.

Can't wait to read the hunt story.

Time to get to busting your rear. Very short prep time for you.

If you want some advice let me know my friend drew the tag a few years back, I am sure he could offer some advice. He hired a guide and they got a look at probably every single sheep in the state.

I would love to talk to him.

I helped someone on a hunt in Nevada in 2016. We ended up killing a 172" ram. I'm dreaming of the day I draw a sheep tag there if I'm ever lucky enough

Can't wait to read the write up after. That's why I make my annual donation on the various silver state tags as well.

Congratulations on your DBHS tag! Have fun on your hunt, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

172" is a stud ram!

Nothing to exciting. My guide is working his tail off. Found several really good rams. Haven't found one that could really push the 180" mark yet.

I told him I'm not in a rush, and it sounds like if we have to wait until October there are plenty of 170" rams we can go kill if we can't turn up a monster.

I'm honestly enjoying seeing the pictures of what they are finding and am ok with this going on for a while. After looking at a few I will be elated with a 170 or a 180, all of them are studs to me. I love talking to my guide and hear him talk about the slightest variation in base measurement making all the difference. I can tell it stresses those guys out and I'm just enjoying hearing all about it.

My bag is packed and my rifle is dialed!

Congrats on an awesome tag! I look forward to hearing about everything.

How does this work now with the guide? If he finds a giant, you rush there and hope to turn him back up?

Who’s your guide ?

Thank you! Yes. As soon as he finds the one we want, I will try to fly out the next day. Then we hunt hard to turn him up. If we can't do him, I'll fly back out at a later date.

He's asked me not to mention him. It's highly competitive between the three outfitters trying to turn up the biggest ram in the state.

To my knowledge, no one has killed at this point. The auction tag guys are paying big $$ just for scouting, and I'm sure looking all over the state. I'm curious to see what everyone kills.

If you look at the reports from the last few years, neither the auction tag nor the Silver State tag have won a buckle ( top 3 in the state).

Gotcha. I’m pretty sure I can figure it out

Kind of like a J.J. hunt, but we know ol' Wade Lemon won't be guiding it ......

You are correct. I know I will never have the chance to buy a tag and figured this is my one opportunity to play the game like the rich people do. I will let you guys know how I feel about it after it is all said and done.

It is not Wade Lemon! That is one crazy story.

Do you work for an outfitter?
