I Can't believe it, Somehow or another I was struck by lightening. I drew a Wy sheep tag. Thats the tag I had the worst odds of drawing. Holy Crap,Can't believe it :))))))))))

Been freaked for two hours now, cant eat, can't sit still. I cancled the bear hunt and the elk hunt, full concentration on this tag. Wow!!

The work begins

Thanks Guys for the Congrats.

There still a party going on in my head. Had a real stiff Vodka drink before bed last night , slept pretty good. Woke up early and jumped on the tread mill. I have good motivation now.

Bill, when you called me yesterday I thought I was going to have to take you to the hospital you were so excited. With all the hard work you do for the UBP you deserve that tag! Good Luck!!!

Hello guys, Thanks for the well wishes from all of you.

This week-end was a blast, I decided to use an outfitter since its the type of tag I may never draw again. Well, after 2 days and Friday evening I pulled the trigger and found my guide, Josh Martoglio of Shoshone Lodge outfitters.There was a handful of guys working for me and advising me how to proceed. Thanks to all of them. After alot of research it came down to two that I felt very comfortable with and am sure I've got the right guy.We've decided that the last two weeks of the season will be the best for bowhunting and its nerve racking to make that decision with nothing more than the end of the season stairing me in the face. I suppose there will be some snow at minimum when the hunt happens ,so, it will be a wintery type hunt. I'm glad it's finalize and now feel like I can relax a little. These hunts produce a rush for the better sheep guides and you have to move on it right away.

Again, Thanks for the well wishes.

Way to blow Bill's surprise Rut Nut. Sometimes it is better to remain silent than chime in on EVERYTHING. mrw hunter had it right when he said: " I'll let him fill you in on the hunt details."

Sorry griz, didn't think I was "blowing the surprise"! Just interested in how his hunt went. Guess I should have just kept quiet?!

Bill hope your doing well. I hope this posting will not get deleted. The Pa forum is VERY Subjective on it's subjects. I guess you could say prejudice.

OK Bill. Let us know the title when you post. Been looking over there from time to time, but didn;t see anything.

RC- LOL! :)
