Congrats on a tough hunt. Should be some tasty chow. I find it hard to believe a ewe could gain the status of a "depredation" hunt.

It doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for posting.
BTW, if you make it back to Pa. the late season is still flintlock/roundball only. There is an early antlerless in October that is pretty much any muzzleloader and any ammo.

That there is real hunting, by a real hunter.

That is cool.

What a hunt and with a very special rifle!! It looks very similar to my .54, which has taken deer but, nothing as exotic as a bighorn sheep. You've given me an itch to hunt with it again this season.

Jon, You are just to cool. I am so glad you got your sheep. If anybody should draw a bunch of New Mexico tags, I am glad it was you. This is a year that you can tell your kids and grandkids about. I hope to see you at Quemado agin next year. You are an inspiration to us all! And good luck with the elk hunt! KDJ PS. Did ya wear the shoes?

That right there is SUPER cool... the hunt would have been amazing enough, but YOU did it w/ a FLINTLOCK!
You're the freakin' man. That is amazing.
