  • Randy and the Fresh Tracks crew are in Nevada with long-time friend and prior guest, Mike Spitzer. Mike has drawn one of the coveted desert bighorn sheep tags.
    With a summer of scouting, a group of close friends to help, and a tag in his pocket, Mike's dreams of hunting sheep comes true. And what a dream it is.

    Who knew that a mammal in the goat family could thrive virtually anywhere, regardless of conditions.
    Good hunt, good shot, and good friends. Perfect recipes for happy memories.

    Congratulations on an incredible ram! Randy’s love of wild country and hunting is optimized at 33:18. I hope Mike has a picture of himself, his awesome ram and the incredible country at 33:18. I’ve always loved hunting that type of country for big mulies, maybe one day I’ll get to hunt it for desert bighorn while using my 270 just like Jack O’Connor. Again, great hunt and incredible ram! Here’s to your success. 🍻

  • @MrAcuta73

    I love watching these....but tag soup with my OIL California tag for SE Oregon still makes me want to rage/cry 12 years later. Maybe someday I get rich, or lightning strikes twice and get stupidly lucky. Neither is likely to happen, my chance is gone. Was about the hardest thing I've ever done. Even eclipsing military training of various types.
    Friends/family were no help, and work kept me from driving the 8 hours one-way to scout. A stranger on a local outdoors forum and my 12y/o son were my only help. I will never forget Richard for helping me. Our District Biologist was a massive help, but alas, not enough for me to succeed.
    It was still a special experience, not one that will ever leave me. The fact I had that opportunity at all is testament to the hard work and dedication of ODFW, FNAWS, and Hunters. PETA certainly did nothing to bring our sheep back.

Randy do you lend the howas to friends for the shows or do they have their own or everyone that hunts with you get a howa to give animals like this ram a howa handshake?

  • @carsontait7338
    @carsontait7338 4 роки тому +3

    Water is certainly number one. Randy you should be thanking mt. lion hunters next. Lions are pure hell on sheep populations. Lastly I'm going to assume from your intro that you don't like cattle on the range. When was the last time you heard of a sportsman's group paying to clean out a dirt tank or putting out mineral blocks? Cattlemen are some of wildlifes best friends. In the West grazing permittees have a right to be there as they own a forage right and most of the water rights. Forage rights and water rights are as sacred as other property rights.

Most of all your love of ethical hunting, ( no 1000 yard shots )and the great wild places we are all blessed to enjoy.

      By only taking big mature animals. It allows the younger ones to take the place of the old and eventually become mature. Plus they only have a lifespan of around 10 to 12 years I believe. And I believe they set a age limit for rams so they need to be a certain size for harvesting. Plus a very limited amount of them are actually taken each year.
