Got a email today that I wasn’t expecting. It seems Colorado fish and game felt the need to not issue me a bighorn tag for 2018. Never mind the fact that I didn’t have any preference points....I was banking on this. Really beside myself at the moment


In time I will get over it and move on....I appreciate yallss support


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I'll participate in your support group. My son and I are struggling with the news as well. Hard to fathom quite honestly.

After hearing your news I called 911 and got air lifted to a shrink in Center Point for help.

I understand. For several years, now, TPWD was supposed to issue me the Grand Slam, and every year they screwed it up. They should get it right this year. I’m buying a couple chances.

You and me both. And worse yet, they didn’t even award me my preference point for desert sheep even though I didn’t draw.

Hate to show you this but I grew up in CO and drew both the bighorn tag and the mountain goat tag. Good thing about being a resident is you can keep an eye on the herds while you wait for the tag to pop.



It sure helps!

I'm _SURE_ you hate showing that.
That being said...DANG!!

To the OP, I feel your pain.
I had a broken collar bone and cracked shoulder blade when I got the only one I ever won!

I feel your pain, as I received the exact same email. But I am going sheep hunting, as my nephew drew a tag! I think I'm more excited about it than he is!

S33 should be a great hunt!
Dang kid doesn't have a clue what he has... well maybe a little! Moved down here from CO a couple years ago, his dad has been applying for him since he was 12 or so, and then draws the tag on the first year he puts in as a nonresident! SMH!!! Oh well at least I get to go sheep hunting!

Been long while but packed out two big bulls out of GU76 for friends, love that country. Been a long long time since I’ve been in 66 though.

We elk hunt 66 quite a bit. I too have packed a couple of nice bulls out of 76! Some of my favorite country in all of Colorado.
