I attempted to upload this episode a week ago, but the upload failed and I didn't know until I was already out in the desert again. Sorry that it is a week out of date. A lot has transpired since this was recorded, but you will have to wait for that. Part 2 of my sheep hunt will follow next week, I hope.

I've been applying for desert bighorn sheep tags for over 30 years and honestly never thought I'd draw one, so never even dreamed of hunting desert sheep in Arizona, but lady luck smiled on me and I'm going sheep hunting! I've never even been on a sheep hunt!

I recorded this episode sitting in my truck out in the desert on my third scouting trip. I talk about the draw and how to play it to your advantage, and how I somehow managed to draw my second choice sheep tag. You'd think I am the luckiest guy in the world, but even when I'm lucky bad luck seems to find me and I talk about that too. Spoiler alert, this is still pre-hunt, so I go over my scouting so far and some of my plans for the hunt, but no sheep have been harmed yet. I've done one more scouting trip since this was recorded and have some things to be excited about, but that will have to wait for the next episode which I will probably record while in my sheep camp. By the time this is uploaded I'll be there and hopefully have a ram picked out for opening day December 1st. At this point I still plan to bowhunt, but that might go flying out the window if I get too excited about a ram! I hope you enjoy this one and are looking forward to the next update. I've got the whole month of December to hunt, but I'll post it as soon as I return. Wish me luck!

Thanks for listening!
