Colorado's bighorn tag went for 130000 this year
Believe his CO’s stand for conservation officers not Colorado.

Want to **** up a good thing in hunting, get a Texan or a Utard involved.
If it's got horns or antlers, they'll try and sell it to the highest bidder.

Here's some food for thought...If I would take 2100 acres of pristine west texas mountain country, game fence it, stock it with bighorn sheep, never hunt it, and pick up dead 216" monsters....would B&C let me enter them? Would we call it a success story?
A monster no doubt. I'm not taking anything away from that. There's no denying that the efforts by hunters and conservationists to preserve the species and propagate herds into their former ranges have been amazing. And I'd love (and dream about) to shoot a book ANYTHING in my lifetime but the B&C hypocrisy can get a little much from time to time...
Take 40,000 acres and "game fence" it, manage a herd, (not talking about introducing genetics...just herd management) and shoot monsters and people call them chit. Take a pack of dogs, chase a buck across a field, have 50 hunters lined up and kill a booner buck and we write articles about it. Take a helicopter...chase a big buck into a oak thicket...take 20 guys and walk in and kill him and he's a book deer...
Let's call it what it is...a 2100 acre preserve but call him the number 1 B&C sheep??? Safari Club maybe...
Just stirring the pot...don't hate me!
No, because Texas doesn't count. %99.99 of their animals are really livestock not wild animals.

I always thought it was pretty neat when a monster makes it to his end in the wild and not hanging on a wall. Something special
About that these days.
