Good job @B_Reynolds_AK looks like the fuzzy background pics are the ticket! Heck of a season you had!
I'm taking notes on photography for next years contest with my stone sheep hunt haha.
Good job everyone!
I've shot aoudad from a bow to a 5.56, to 300WM and all in between.......
My one desert sheep was with a 6.5 PRC. I think for sheep/deer size the 6.5PRC is about one of the best rounds out there.
Old rams taste like they smell where we kill them in the hill country of TX. Maybe they taste different in west TX or NM, but the ones in the hill country are nasty. Killed them for around 20 years, free range, and gave up on eating them years ago. I take prime ribeye and deer sausage to camp!
Great thread, I have nothing to add because my desert sheep guided hunt wasn't a backpack style hunt. I do have stone and dall hunts next two years, so yall have a lot of great info. Would the Swaro STC be worth bringing IF I decide to bring a spotter? Only hiking close to 20 miles in 2.5 days...
