Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Let's talk about sheep...

Thanks for posting pic of THE ram scenar!!!
This is Martin White from No Dak,, we had a good hunt together!

Sweet photo, looks like that one took a little work. The old photo is in another league though!

Awesome animals. Great stories!

My entire youth was spent dreaming of hunting big game out west, especially sheep! My western big game hunts did not begin until I was out of college and could finally begin to afford the travel/tags to hunt. I am so very grateful for the hunts I have had, and the memories are priceless.

Only one sheep hunt for me so far- I still wake up dreaming of this hunt and the country sheep live in as in my mind there is nothing like it...

There is NOTHING like sheep country!

I got to help the same buddy out (see way above) with another sheep hunt. Here's the California Bighorn a group and I helped him with. Great week in the So. ID canyon country.

Wow, just takes your breath away. Great pictures again!

Stone ram, taken in BC near the Yukon Territory boundary.

I'll throw in my 2 cents. Only sheep hunt I'll likely ever do, but I sure enjoyed it. Yukon 2013.

Now,
The ram resides in Cody at the Buffalo Bill museum,



And the rifle that Chadwick used, A Mauser in 404 Jeffrey of all things.

Montana rams,

Beautiful photos. It is far more difficult to take a good shot with a camera than a rifle. Very well done, and the animal in the last photo is truly remarkable.

Thank you for sharing.

This California Bighhorn is a product of Oregon's "Once in a lifetime" draw. I had a wonderful hunt in country that most people would never imagine exists in Oregon.

Really a great experience.

Wow. It's a wonder that guy could even hold his head up.

Amazing.

I've begun to put in for that OR draw. The odds are... steep, but it's the only draw in the lower 48 that is actually affordable (to my knowledge) for a non-resident.

Wild Horse? A couple of those rams are incredible!

Fine Oregon Rams you guys,,they always great and different!Here's a 43" X 14 1/2" monster!

^^^^^giant!

I'll draw Colorado one of these days. I'm pretty sure I've shown this albino sheep picture here before from Wyoming:

I didn't think any thread was going to beat BobinNH's deer thread! WOw!

Gents, this thread contains some absolutely beautiful photos as well as some amazing trophies. Thanks to you all for sharing!

And I have to say, I'm going to have to move my Pat Sinclair shrine over just a bit to make room for Waterat - those are a couple of the hugest Dall's I think I've seen.

So here's a few, nothing big, but any sheep's a trophy in my book.

This is my buddy's Dall from the South slope of the Brooks. Pretty heavy and smart! Tried to give us the slip, but Jim caught him with this trusty .243.


Here's mine from that same trip.


And here's a couple from the Delta Control Area in the Alaskan Range. We were over 20 miles back in. I fell is a glacial river on the way out with over 100 lbs on my back. Luckily, my buddy was able to fish me out. 10 miles is soaking wet clothes was not my idea of fun, but I was looking forward to a hot shower!
