California Wild Sheep - Winter 2012
My quest to draw all of the tough draw animals in California started well over a decade before. I had drawn two X-Zone mule deer tags and an elk tag in the past six years. I was gaining notoriety with my friends as someone who they didn't want to be friends with anymore. I figured someone had to draw them, so why not me. We'll call it a lucky streak, but for how long, no one knows.
After being at max points for antelope and sheep for ten years, I figured I would draw an antelope tag. It was just a matter of time.

Relentless 365 - Summer/Fall 2012
Let us begin this story back in june 2011. I was with a girlfriend on a cruise to the Caribbean. We were on the ship, "Oasis of the Sea", one of the largest cruise ships in the world. We had a wonderful time. When I returned home, my husband Dan handed me an envelope. It was from the California Department of Fish and Game. I opened the envelope and I couldn't believe what I was reading. We had been applying in California for about 22 years. We always said that our donations were going to a good cause, never really expecting to be drawn. Well, this year I was one of the lucky ones. I had been drawn for a California Bighorn Sheep Tag I We just couldn't believe it!

California Wild Sheep - Summer 2012
It was like a dream come true and lucky for me. My name is Bob Totah and I am a Police Officer in San Francisco. For the past seven years I have been applying for desert sheep, elk and antelope hunts here in California. I got drawn for desert bighorn sheep in 2011. I couldn't believe it, and I thought it must have been a mistake. I went online, which was tough for me, and I called Regina Abella from DFG and confirmed that I had been drawn. My girlfriend said that the smile on my face was the biggest she had ever seen. I immediately set out to find out about the area I would be hunting and trying to hire an outfitter since I did not know the area.
