re: Anyone ever did a ram hunt in tx?

Yep it's out of all our price range even though we're all internet millionaires.

The hunts were something ridiculous. He had some guy offer him huge bucks just for viles of semen from the largest ram (or it's mother if identified?). The guy is the luckiest fricker in the world. He made a lot of money on ostriches, emu, and rea when those were extremely popular - at least in Texas they were our governor at the time had bought in and the state became very pro-bird all of a sudden So he buys in, sells right before the market collapsed, and then bought a million dollars worth of exotics and ran high end guided hunts the next 20 years on 950 acres in the Texas hill country. Then, after unsuccessfully running for sheriff (as a matter of protest regarding poaching enforcement and protection of landowners in general), the crazy bastard decided he'd sell his 950 acres in the hill country and buy 20,000 acres in Dryden, Texas (big bend/Mexico boarder) and high fence the entire thing himself so he could move all his exotics out there. That's exactly what he did; except he fenced in the largest herd of some unique species of ram where there are a limited number of licenses issued each year. And now he flies around checking his ranch in a helicopter made out of a fricking lawn mower engine that has probably had one or two "low altitude crashes." A little off topic but it's just a crazy story.
