Huntin' Fool - October 2016
We were only 90 yards away when Matt whispered, "He's clear whenever you're ready. The report from my 300 Weatherby Magnum scattered rams everywhere.
My hunt started out like a lot of the stories I read about. I was wondering why I hadn't been able to draw a premium tag in any of the states when I was sitting on so many points. I have been a member of Huntin' Fool for many years and have been following their advice on recommendations for hunts. I knew that sooner or later it had to happen. It was the end of June when I was trying to figure out where and what kind of hunting I was going to do this year, but then my luck changed.
I was out of town, working in Alaska, when I received a phone call from my friend, Dan Grove, who said, "You did it. You finally drew a sheep tag. You drew a Desert bighorn sheep tag in California!" I could not believe it. Out of all the states, I was lucky enough to draw a Desert bighorn sheep tag in my home state. Later that day, I had to call the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to hear the news. for myself.
