Special Report
Triple Slammer #27, Rex Baker
(#253, GA), was the lucky winner of
a Raffle-Rama drawing for a Texas desert bighorn at the 2008 convention. Rex hunted with Larry Altimus and Altimus Adventures just a couple of weeks
after the convention, during early
March, and then filed this report:
I still can’t believe I won the Texas
desert sheep permit. Larry (#1238,
AZ) & Stephanie Altimus (#1169, AZ)
did a great job; he really knows sheep
hunting and is an expert on the Baylor
Mountain Ranch where we hunted. I
didn’t have to buy a license as I had been hunting red sheep with Rowdy
McBride a couple of weeks earlier.
Delta gave me a mileage ticket, so for
once I can tell Shirley that a sheep
hunt was not very expensive.
We collected the sheep on the third day, walking and checking canyons.
He nets 172 3/8 B&C green. This is
the third sheep off the ranch. Both of
the other rams were in the mid-160s.
With luck I’ll finish my second Grand
Slam and my fifth World Slam this
year. Thanks again, Dennis, for providing
this wonderful hunt, and
remember… it’s better to be lucky than
good!
