Killled some trophy low fence rams

Both are low fence rams. I got the Texas Dall with my bow and my friend Dave got the Corsican.

congrats! where was the Corsican taken and how much.. ive been looking for one!

Nice rams! Congrats

Nice

What part of Texas are rams free range?

I was going to say something but decided not to. Glad you did.

Nice dall, i think he meant just not high fence.

Any fence except maybe a 3 strand barb wire fence is a HF to a sheep.

Texas has free range Big Horns

Beautiful Rams.

I hunted a property in the Kendall County that had Audad in large numbers and Corsican and some other kind of sheep were seen with regularity. It was a LF property and I assure you the landowner hated them and did not want them there. I would consider them free range and the place was fenced with sheep and goat netting with 2 strands of barbed on top and one on bottom.

If you saw corsican type sheep jump a net wire fence with 2 barbs on top then you have seen something I have never seen. And I am 69 years old and have seen a lot of stuff. And as for Aoudad, even an 8 ft. fence is a low fence to them.

if ya'll are going to sit and argue I just won't post next time. ridiculous.

Never saw Corsicans or anything but the Aoudad jump a fence, but the owner ran angora and cross goats on the property and the fences were such to keep them in and the others got in and out somehow as they pleased.

Calm down Indiana, they are just cranky from the cold weather and Jan 1 hangovers.
Fantastic Texas Dall. I would love to see the mount.

Who is arguing? Me an Redchevy are just sharing opinions. Besides, I never seen a fence that could keep goats in but not keep sheep out.

Very nice rams. Looks like a neat place. Where?

Nice Rams!

Guy we know around Pearsall. Very nice place!

What's Uuuuuuuup P H. Thanks for posting n pic on my Corsican go X

Despite my resolve to stay out of the conversation I just can't

Indiana guys- a hearty welcome to Texas and congrats on those very nice sheep. We always welcome other hunters with open arms and appreciate your support of our Texas ranches.

This conservation is a topic of semantics, quite possibly only associated with Texas hunters and especially exotics. For 15 yrs Texas hunters have been "discussing" high fence hunting and the good and evil of same. This has led to a fracturing, that IMO, is harmful to the hunting community as a whole. Therefore, the terms "high fence" and "low fence" come with loaded conatations. Perhaps unknowingly, when you titled the thread "low fence rams" that kicked in 20+ yrs of history. Additionally, the exotic nature of the game also drives part of this discussion. Rams of this type are not generally free ranging anywhere in Texas outside a few pockets around Del Rio like Mulie Mike has and other exotic hotspots in the hill country. Otherwise most rams are under some type of fence restraint albeit for sheep a 4" ft net wire fence generally serves that purposes. Everyone here on THF exotic section understands that and it is part of the nature of these hunts being available in the first place. So although not a high fence by general definition, even the 4' ft fences are not what most Texans list under the "low fence" category (go back to the part about 15+ yrs of the high fence debate). That's all a few folks were pointing out. No one thinks any less of your animals if they frequent this section of the hunting threads, and no one is calling your integrity into play or anything close to that. I will tell you that by "Texan thinking" there are no low fence rams in Pearsal, Texas, but that doesn't make me think any different about you as a hunter or sportsman.

Congrats again- next time i would love to join ya'll !!!

Very good post.

And a point I forgot to include, which also ties into the long history behind the terminology. Most anti-high fence guys equate "low fence" with "free ranging". It's part of their argument against high fences and the animals belong to the state, all in theory. Of course those same terms aren't always the same in exotic hunting, low fence does not equate to free ranging for all species. And that might be the very heart of this discussion- low fence did not mean free ranging in that sense, and I'm all good with that, as I am sure others commenting here are also.

Again- great rams- hope you enjoy them for a long time !! I'm looking for a LARGE Corsican if anyone knows of one, low fence or high fence

Could not have stated it any better.

I dont know why people take fences so seriously. (Please dont explain to me why for god sake) But I'd like to clear something up as well. These rams were not stocked. They came in from somewhere entirely else. They did cross the 4 ft fence to get on to this property. But thats not the point. The point is that when I post "low fence rams" I dont need multiple people explaining to me what a low fence is. I know what a low fence is and I really dont need the history in Texas of how people view fences. But thank you that was interesting! And as for whoever said there are no free ranging corsicans, Safari Club International has a record book particularly for free ranging corsican rams and a completely different one for non free ranging corsicans. Soooo yeah. But ill end on this. If a fence is a low fence, which means its not a high fence, then you cant sit and look at it and call it something different. Its a low fence. Things can roam in and out of it. I really dont understand the big deal with the fences. Chill out everybody! We're a hunting community. Not a debate team. If you want to debate send me a Pm.

Piss + Cheerios

I remember when I was a kid a herd of Barbado sheep came through the property we quail hunted on. We went home and grabbed the 22. I wanted to shoot the big ram. Papaw told me there was no reason to shoot that SOB it would tast like sht. I shot 2 cabrito sized babies and they tasted great. I still would have liked to see those horns close up.

If you don't understand the so called "Big Deal" with fences why then did you title your post "Trophy low fence rams"?

I don't chose to send you a PM- I'll state my thoughts for all to see. I only chimed in in an effort to support you and maybe shine a little light of what you perceived as some attacking you. But I now know you are too educated to have needed anything from me and for my intrusion into your thread I apologize. Good luck with your hunting career !!

What we’ve got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach

Nice Try buck

But what
all these arguments are about??????

I believe this is a direct quote from you on a previous thread:

"Man you need to relax. Its a picture of a guys trophy. Cant we just comments without being criticized all the time? They aren't negative comments and cheap shots. Dont post if you dont want our replies."

Nice sheep and congrats. But any free ranging sheep that made to Pearsall, Tex on their own has to be very special and very lucky. Coyotes would have eaten them once they got south of HWY 90. Did they have ewes on the property also?

About the only free range Corsican type sheep would be if they lived on the interstate hwy. system where there are no fences. The sheep were either put there or they got out of a neighbors place. You very seldom see Texas Dall that are still pure white that were not put into a place. Even black belly Corsican that still hold their color show that they have not been mixed with other sheep. I could give a rats a** how or where these sheep were taken. I just get tired of people trying to make themselves feel good by saying something is what it is not.

easy Indianapigsticker... lots of experts out there !!!

You are talking to people on here that know what they are talking about, people that own ranches and sheep. Some that have done this most of their lives. It would be wise to listen to these folks. In 25 years of raising sheep I never had a sheep of any kind jump a 4 foot fence.

All I wanna know is how much I want one bad!

Say What???

He wants to know how much it cost. He wants one... bad.

I think that the op included a little bit too much info on his thread title.... the animals y'all harvested are nice regardless of the range conditions.
