My son just sent me a pic of his first ram. He's pretty stoked as am I. He helped a pard get one in the TMA hunt last year. I do all the loading for his rifle. .308 Win, 47.5 gr W-748, CCI-250, 150 NAB. He getting it sealed/measured tomorrow in Tok. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/Andrew-Ram-Cropped.jpg)

Very cool doing that! He got very wet doing that!

Very cool doing that! He got very wet doing that! He said it wasn't too bad. Northern lights the night before the opener. They woke up at 3:30 and were able to put the sneak of the rams they located the day before. Awesome! Was his a TMA hunt as well? NE side of the Wrangell - St. Elias Park. Registration hunt.

Nice all the way around. Hope I live long enough, and am in good enough shape! 1 goat and 1 sheep and I'd be happy with just watching and helping from then on!

Outstanding ram. Good job.

Very nice Ram, was that a Federal local resident reg hunt? I screwed up when I said registration. Unit 12 (non-TMA) HT (harvest ticket). They had the Park Service federales land in the chopper and check them out - all was good. His buddy (that he helped out in the TMA) had a chance, but his .270 couldn't do it this time. Musta caught the gay . . . (it was out there a ways)

Nice. Very! I am envious....mostly because I can no longer hike in terrain like that. And I do wish I had made/found the time to do that when my joints were still healthy enough. (There might be a lesson in that for those who think they'll put it off until they can 'afford' it.

Nice ram!! His bases look to be close to 13", give or take. He's got quite the Roman nose going on for his age too.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.
