Poaching and Exotics on the Loose

[6.5 shooter]

I'm curious what a $40k ram looks like.

A trophy big horn sheep hunt in Sonora Mexico is 60k.

On a side note...my cousin just got burned this summer. He contacted the owner of a well known HF ranch closes to his place about a Red deer that got out. Owner came out, darted him, put him in his HF and told him thanks. Then word got back to my cousin that the HF owner was later bragging in town that he never even had Red deer in his place...that will be his last phone call

^ And this is why you look for the tag!

surprised the ram wasn't found right outside the fence broken down

I'm fairly certain a big horn or any other dream sheep is not what is being referred too in this story

Can you buy big horns? I was under the assumption they could not be live-sold. Of course, you know what they say about assumptions.

So you let him go tramping through your property during hunting season?

Legally speaking untagged exotics are fair game and can be shot day or night. Morally however since the neighbor seemed to have asked you nicely I wouldn’t shoot them. Had they turned up on your place without you having spoken to the neighbor prior to that I would say go for it.

Its my understand that exotics with tag is considered live stock. Ethics is what you do when no one is watching.
