Posted By: MuskegMan The Kid's first ram - 08/14/16

My son just sent me a pic of his first ram. He's pretty stoked as am I. He helped a pard get one in the TMA hunt last year. I do all the loading for his rifle. .308 Win, 47.5 gr W-748, CCI-250, 150 NAB. He getting it sealed/measured tomorrow in Tok.

He said it wasn't too bad. Northern lights the night before the opener. They woke up at 3:30 and were able to put the sneak of the rams they located the day before.

Nice all the way around. Hope I live long enough, and am in good enough shape! 1 goat and 1 sheep and I'd be happy with just watching and helping from then on!

I screwed up when I said registration. Unit 12 (non-TMA) HT (harvest ticket). They had the Park Service federales land in the chopper and check them out - all was good.

His buddy (that he helped out in the TMA) had a chance, but his .270 couldn't do it this time. Musta caught the gay . . . (it was out there a ways)

Nice. Very!

I am envious....mostly because I can no longer hike in terrain like that. And I do wish I had made/found the time to do that when my joints were still healthy enough. (There might be a lesson in that for those who think they'll put it off until they can 'afford' it. wink

Getting to old for that, should have tried that a LONG time a go. Congrats on a very nice ram.

Got the stats today: 9 years old, 36". I didn't get base circumference or individual horn lengths. He better grill up some steaks for his folks tonite.

L, congrats to your son on a fine ram! If that a Roman nose and those bruiser horns could talk!
Posted By: AkMtnHntr Re: The Kid's first ram - 08/19/16
Nice ram!! His bases look to be close to 13", give or take. He's got quite the Roman nose going on for his age too.
