Hunting Big Rams Not Just For Big Spenders

Since 1998, the cost of a Dall sheep hunt has more than doubled, leading most hunters to consider sheep hunting as a pastime of the wealthy. However, many have found ways around the "wealth and privilege" stereotype, and pursued rams relentlessly without breaking the bank. With more than 2/3 of its members over the age of 45, Grand Slam Club/Ovis is seeking ways to involve younger hunters in the pursuit of wild sheep and goats. As part of the summer Members-Only Raffle, GSCO will award a guided Dall sheep hunt -- designated as a SlamQuest™ hunt -- to one of our under-40 members. (PRWeb Jul 20, 2008)
