Hello folks, yep.... if it weren't for so many people putting in these days to be a sheep hunter and so rare and hard of a hunt. I believe there would be several more rams taken or at least pursued with stickbows. I know, in 2011 I drew my once in a lifetime California sheep tag for Oregon. Only 12 days to get it done for an animal I've never hunted, on a mountain I've never hunted, with my first homemade longbow I've never hunted with, for the first hunt of the year. The hunt was in late August, I had 7 weeks to train, scout and prepare for the adventure of hunting for a ram. A person could hunt with any weapon but I chose my ugly home made, 54#, 62" longbow. Wish I got a dollar from everyone who told me I was crazy, nuts, stupid, or an idiot for going with my longbow.... I'd be rich.
