He has been putting in for 30 years and the longer you have been applying the more chances you get.
I didnt realise how amazing it was that he got it till I started reading about it.
They sell a couple of tags to the highest bidders to put into the restoration of the sheep herd apparently.
Wish I was there!

It wont be a governors tag if he got it in a tag draw, they're definitely an auction only tag that go for mega bucks depending on the state and the opportunity offered. He may have got "Unit 680" which is apparently one of the best sheep units in the country and only one ram per season is taken from the unit (by the person who gets the unit 680 tag)
I was reading about it earlier and it said most people will put in for 30 years or more and still not draw it.
Bloody cool animals anyhow I'd love to hunt a bighorn and a mule deer buck. One day, maybe.
