2007 Big Game Quotas

I know this is a BLOG about fishing and I should be talking about where to go fishing for Memorial Weekend but I just ran across this interesting information from the Nevada Department of Wildlife's website that I thought all Big Game Hunters would be interested in....

160 Class Ram Taken in the Sheldon

October 13, 2006

Nevada RAM taken in the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge

Nevada Department of Wildlife scored him at 160 3/8th net. There hasn’t been a 160 class ram taken there in 3 or 4 years. What a great hunt and good time. - Ken T.
