Plus I’ve never learned any other photo sharing gig than photobucket. But I am looking forward to seeing pix of modern day rams killed by you kids that still have gas in your azz. 👍🏻 I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Or maybe if I condition, and go slow.... eating half of it while bring out the other half..... Congrats you sheep hunters, successful or not. You are into the good stuff there!

TZone, he was 35 1/8 on his long side, green. My biggest (and the biggest I'll ever shoot in my life) was a shade over 42 green. That being said, he's plenty big enough for me or I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. Las, this one was on the wrong side of the ridge from camp, and 1500 feet lower. So it was a slog to get him out. Luke, nothing to blame on you, it worked like a champ... grin. 18 inch barrel is really nice to carry! Randy - yeah, I'll be doing a shoulder mount, at least I'm 99% sure. bigwhoop, the short story is: We went in 3 days before the opener, broke the hike into 2 days so got there mid day on the 8th. Set camp, got water sorted out, and started scouting. Found this guy in a group of 6 rams, and another group of 7 rams that had a good one in it as well. We were 99% on this one, and couldn't get close enough to make the other ram legal. So we dropped in on this one the evening of the 9th, and bivied at the lowest point around to stay out of sight. On opening morning they had fed over to a very bad place (for them), and we were able to make a great stalk with 2 spotters and 2 rifles without being detected by the rams or 10+ ewes and lambs. He was at 350 yards, and eventually fed to 250 going in and out of sight. We were able to get lots of good looks at the horns and be 100% sure, so took the shot. For once, he died on something not rock and not steep, so butchering was a breeze and we just had a ram and a light camp to get back up the hill and then on over to our camp. We looked for another ram for a day, and found lots of almost full curls, but no full curls.

For you guys that haven’t got sheep hunt much, any legal Ram is a good ram, any sheep somewhere around high 37” to mid 38” is a nice ram, sheep 39” and above are great rams, some guys will use 40” as the cutoff and that’s ok too. Told the outfitter I guided sheep for that I was pizz poor at guessing the tale of the tape in the field. Sheep only come in 3 sizes for me, not legal, legal but meh, and omg can’t wait to get a tape on that bastard. Said it worked for him 🤷🏻‍♂️ Most sheep are hard earned ime, I got one easy one, once upon a time 😎, I’ll never look down my nose at any legal sheep a guy takes. But man I still enjoy seeing those big bastards! Speaking of, if Chris has time and inclination, it’d be nice if he’d post pix of that 42” ram on here so guys could get a comparison I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I always heard it as "you walk by the sheep to get to the goats", but I like yours better. Sheep are like sex, they're all good, some are just gooder than others..... That's a great ram, I'd push everyone out of the way to shoot that one.

I have a hunt planned for the end of August and beginning of September that will allow me to use all four of my personal days with labor day. I do get to talk to people and help them get started. One of the guys that I work with at SW was very apt student and listened to everything that I told him to do for preparation, tools, technique and etc. I guess I have to live vicariously through him. He did fine. He shot this guy at 30 yards up Shindata on opening morning.

Pic is worth a thousand words, two pix speak volumes. First sheep I ever took was in the company of a curmudgeonly old guy that had gone 23 rams outa 24 seasons. Man what a honey hole he’d found, river has changed so no way to get anywhere close to his old honey hole. I wonder how many big rams have died there now due to natural causes. He personally had only taken half a dozen or so rams over 40” there, not sure how many other rams over 40 his friends had taken there. My first one was only 37 , but a beauty, just didn’t get the drop down to jaw to put it in the over 40 class. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Congrats again sir, you’ve turned into a sheep hunting machine. As for goats? Meh, ain’t just the headwear, it’s taste of meat for me, I’ll take a sheep over goat meat anyday. YMMV I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I'll see if I can get the whole sheep family in a frame for a portrait... Each picture has its own perspective and you can get caught comparing things from one picture to another that don't really apply.

Stalked a couple of rams in that exact spot, but could not make them legal no matter how hard I squinted. Shindata drainage was filled with lots of young rams that year. Too many of them were almost full curl. Very frustrating week.
