Brother Fubar;
Me again my friend, thanks for that photo.

We've seen it twice now and both times it was just jaw dropping for me.

I know you get to see the big Rockies on that island if I recall correctly, so you're getting to view some in the wild that I'll only dream of.

If anyone is going through Whitehorse, there is a game farm a bit north of town where they have a Stone and a Dall that are positively huge. I know it's not the same as a wild ram, but they still took my breath away Brother Fubar.

My long time friend took his ram this fall less than a kilometer from where I'd got one 31 years and 2 days previous to that. We were two weeks into the season, the rams had stopped showing up in the unusually hot fall and I suggested we go look at the ridges I used to chase sheep on and still chase mulies most falls. Sure enough, we put a couple nice ones to bed Friday night and he was able to get one Saturday morning.

Mine was 7½ and his was 2 years younger but a much heavier ram all around. It's amazing what better genetics and a good forest fire will do for the herd. wink

This as they say, used to be me...

All the best.

I shall do my best to avoid gummies, etc on your advice.. wink

Brother Dwayne.... Your post and sheep are the "good stuff" seriously!!!
I am somewhat familiar with your brand of sheep, the California Bighorn... as I was fortunate enough to draw a tag for the same subspecies.... now keep in mind I am a "wanna be" sheep hunter and am generally fascinated with wild sheep...
My bighorn was from the mountains of South central Oregon, of all places.
The unit I applied for had the best drawing odds but the worst trophy quality... I didn't care.
Much to my amazement, I drew a tag, I have very little luck in the tag lottery in general.
My financial situation at the time was well... meager... so I scouted , hunted and did everything on my own.
It was an amazing and incredibly difficult hunt... in 4 days of scouting and 6 days of hunting I saw one ram I would consider worthy.
In my unit there was one other hunter, we spent time together and he wasn't having much luck either. He was a gentleman my age and was hunting with his son.
His son was a hardcore sheep hunter with several rams under his belt!
We were all struggling, the temps were in the 90's.... the climb was 2000' each day.... but that is sheep hunting...
I did fill my tag on the 6th day of hunting...


And here he is....
