[CG :2 Line\Jace LeRoy\WINNER!]
But our winner tonight, drew a once-in-a-lifetime tag and in turn created some once in a lifetime memories. Jace didn't believe his dad when his dad called to inform him that he'd drawn a tag for a desert big horn sheep hunt on the Zion Unit. With the help of family and friends, Jace came away with this beautiful ram. In order to retrieve the ram the group had to cross a river multiple times, but a big rainstorm came in and made the last river crossing, far to dangerous. So they settled in, and told stories around the campfire. Jace says, the best part of hunting is the memories we all create with those around us, and this hunt he'll never forget. Congrats Jace on working so hard to fulfill your dream and here's something to cook a few backstraps on, our big prize for having...our snapshot of the week.
