Last week I killed a free range Sonora Desert Bighorn sheep that completed my Grand Slam of North American Wild Sheep (#2301). I killed my Dall ram in the Yukon Territory in 1984. I solo scouted for 24 days and hunted two days for my Bighorn ram in Idaho's desolate Owyhee River in 2014. I backpacked August 2023 in the Cassiar Mountains of northern British Columbia for my Stone ram. It's always been more of a dream than a goal for me. I've been a western mountain hunter since I was 18 years old. I guided and outfitted in Wyoming for 27 years. It took 40 years since I pulled the trigger on my first ram to get my fourth ram for the Slam. This was also the 86th sheep hunt that I have either guided or personally hunted. Being now 67, I hope to have some more seasons left before I can't any longer lace up my boots. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/gcNL1mK7/IMG-4145.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/g0VnsWJN/P8310274.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/tTxNCWbB/IMG-1905.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/QxCK3w4d/IMG-4537.jpg)

Fascinating animals, Thanks for posting.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Great lifetime achievement!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
