Seems the South Dakota game officials made a little boo-boo. They sent out over 2,000 invitations to shoot Bighorn sheep. Problem is, they were only suppose to send 2. Yikes! Start running Big Horns....  http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/06/0...-for-thousands/

Garbage in, garbage out. Why would you use a computer to issue 2 tags anyway?

Really?  I am saying they could have handled those very special two separate. Does TPWD use the standard license for its 10 desert bighorn permits? Highly doubt it. But I actually read the article now so guess it was invitation only and not the actual permit/tag. I work in IT and there is no such thing as a computer glitch like that. Someone screwed up but no point in pointing fingers. They can handle behind closed doors.

If I got a bighorn tag in the mail, and then later found out it was being "recalled" my head would explode. 
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.
