Had a great scouting season and hunting season for sheep. 8 year old ram with a 38 yard steep downhill shot. Big thank you to my wife and kids for tagging along and being very instrumental to my final success.

I grew up in CO. The hardest part of getting a ram in CO has always been just getting the tag. They offer very few tags so none of the sheep really get hunted hard. I took this ram near Georgetown and the goat came from down by Buena Vista. I figured one of each was all anybody deserved so I never tried for the tags again. Nice ram. Congrats. You'll be amazed how good the meat is.

Had tenderloins and ribs last night. Very delicious. Success rate for archery tends to run around 20% so feel pretty blessed that things worked out.
Congrats on your ram Mac. Good looking trophy wall there.

Most excellent! The tag is the tough part here in Oregon. Been trying since 1975. Once in a lifetime for us unless one has the $$ for the auction tags. A bit frustrating when kids from my Hunter Ed classes pull a tag with their first application.
That is one big kid too.
Let us know how the sheep scores as table fare, please.
