I forgot to mention

I drew a sheep tag. Since I didn't have any preference points I applied for a ewe tag which isn't too terribly difficult to draw as a 1st choice. No one w/ preference points will apply as a first choice because they will lose them all if they draw their fist choice. Since everyone wants a ram, they keep trying for a ram tag and apply for ewe as second choice. Ram tags require a min. of 3 preference points. Some guys will draw a tag in as few as 6 years and I know of some who have applied for nearly 20 years for a ram without drawing. Hopefully I can get lucky and fill the ewe tag then start the long wait of applying for a ram tag.

My season will be Oct. 2-11, which is actually a rifle season. I will be hunting with my bow and will take a few vacation days along with a weekend. I plan to scout all summer and I've met a guy from Loveland that has killed a ram and a ewe in the unit I drew that has offered to help. I've also met a guy from north of Colorado Springs that has done the same.

I'm really exited about it. Sheep are at the top of my list for animals I wanted to hunt with my bow. I've included some pics I found on the web. I did not take either photo, but included them to show the difference between the ewe and ram.

This is what I'll be after in October and scouting for all summer.

This is what I'll be passing up and hoping to hunt some day.
