Conglads on a great hunt. Was the rock walls old Indian ruins? Looks like what we have here in SW Colorado. The small square one----an idea on what it's purpose was?
Cal ram is a Rocky Mtn or a desert bighorn? Bob

Nice job.
There's nothing quite like the Owyhees in terms of steepness and ruggedness. It truly is a unique geologic area. I have some good friends who own ranches in that country intermixed with BLM land.
I would love to draw one of those tags one day.

Cal ram is a Rocky Mtn or a desert bighorn? Bob More likely sheepherders or ranch line camps. There are still a few old line cabins standing, more or less, out there. I've seen sheep herders stack up rocks just for something to do. They get bored out of their minds out there alone all the time.

Dukx, WOW, thanks for the report and pictures you sure earned that one. I was impressed at seeing the face on that cape. I wish I could skin that well. I guess I should kill some more stuff and get more practice.

Dukx I've always loved that country. It's rugged and sorts out the sportsmen from the road hunters, for sure. Did you see any chuckar or Huns while scouting? Congratulations on a Great trophy well earned!

Congrats on a great hunt. I killed my one and only ram on my one and only sheep hunt (so far) at the bottom of the canyon several years ago with Jon Barker. Amazing country.

Dukxdog - What a fantastic writeup, and great photos! Congrats on your bighorn! Eric Absolutely, well said. I agree completely. Thanks for taking the time to write that up, and congratulations on a beautiful bighorn.
