RE: Does anyone else apply for tags out west?
....After applying for years for various tags up here for sheep, moose, caribou,goat,bison, and elk....finally won myFIRST tag ever.
A Delta Controlled Use Area Dall sheep tag-DS203.
I am so thankfull for this dream hunt......the next 6 months is waking up and preparing, visualizing,and sharing the anticipation of it with my best friend and hunting partner; my mate. Not everyone can share that with their significant other......He took an awesome ram 2 years ago in the Tok management area ( hard to win permit area as well).......I bought a grizzly tag before we headed in on that hunt, just in case.
...........The feeling is so humbling....we have been able to hunt every harvest season here on the Kenai Peninsula for sheep, moose, and black bear....and thank God for always having the freezer full of that(mostly bear......and salmon and halibut).....but drawing that permit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will never take for granted. ...not to mention TWO sheep permits in the same household, within two years.
....The biggest expense for the hunt will probably be the babysitter.(can't take the little ones on THIS one). :It's hard to believe: As a woman especially.....the opportunities we all have in this great country: even as recently as 100 years ago, women had just secured the right to vote.
:Thank the Lord for our land, our freedom.........and the right to bear arms.....
