The ram dropped like a sack of rocks, and we watched for at least a couple of minutes, then commenced giving high fives. I told him to make his way over to the ram while I watched from where he had shot. He didn't take more that 10 steps when the big ram got to his feet and scrambled off before the hunter could get another shot off. We crossed the narrow canyon, got to where the ram was laying, found a little blood, not a lot, followed along a while, and never saw the ram again.
I'd bet my truck that this ram in question was clipped just across the top of the back..... I've seen it done more than once on deer. My cousin did it a few years back on one of the largest deer to ever walk our farm. Got trail cam pics a few weeks later to confirm exactly what happened.
