A goofy old dude was camped next door to the old ranchhouse this past Fall. He lucked out and drew a bull elk tag for the Breaks(right where we were gathering cattle). Each evening after I had a few beers I'd walk over and talk with him and his son inlaw.
Amongst alot of things he had done the sheep slam.
The 3 days I was out there he did alot of spotting but hadn't found a good enough bull for the tag.
I talked to my dad later that Fall and asked if he got his bull.
He said Scotty(who rides out there 12 months a year) got him up on a good bull but his scope fogged up. Scotty offered to point the barrel at the bull while the 'sheephunter' pulled trigger but the old hunter declined.
True story.
FWIW, the guy appeared to have retirement figured out.
(And he was shooting a 280AI w/Nosler BT's)
