    For those want to see a little of the action, here is the kill shot. It’s short, but I wasn’t about to lose site of him after the first two shots. He made it a whopping 8 seconds before he tipped over. I’ll get a few more videos of some rams as well. If anyone draws the tag I would be more than...

    It was high stress at the time but looking back at it now it sure did make it memorable!! She definitely handled herself well and kept her composure to get the job done.

    I have not fond out why. I did run the fat wrench on it again and there isn’t anything loose. I had her shoot it 6 days prior and we confirmed the zero at 200yds. This would be the first scope, all 8 Leupold, I have ever had have an issue with a zero. I will try to get it and shoot the rifle...

    I hope you draw it. Amazing unit! If you do I would be more than happy to share every detail we have saved on it. I have lots of way points and about 60+ rams dotted out. Two stud up and coming rams in the next year or two in there!

    Well after looking over many rams in all parts of the unit she found the one that checked off her list!! We found a band of rams leaving the canyon we intended to glass that morning and they were on the move out of the country…and in a hurry! We spotted this band of rams at a little after 7...

    Little update, still looking over rams morning and evening. Looking like the rut is getting closer as bands of smaller rams are splitting up. Messed up on a smoker ram that I was completely unaware of below us. I’d definitely say he was one of the biggest I’ve seen to date. Everyone speaks of...

    From what the bios told us we should be seeing rut activity now or very soon and it should peak around mid he first week of October. Rams are definitely feeling their oats with one another. But still in that 10-15 bachelor groups. Occasionally a 5-7 bachelor size. The long distance ram really...

    We turned this guy up late yesterday. This is at 70x on the spotter from 3.5 miles. I’ve spotted a few at this distance and it was very hard to see as much horn as this. Picture quality isn’t the best with the mirage but this gives me some hope that this is a the kind of ram she is looking for.

    Season opened in the 15th and goes until October 14th. We have are planning on leaving next week sometime and planning a n staying until she gets it filled. It’s been a rough year with very little scout time. We have looked over majority of the suggested areas based on the bio but we have not...

    Looked these guys over today. Good thing I don’t have the tag as I’d probably have filled it on one of these two! She got excited but not enough to stuff a round in the chamber. On to looking for more tomorrow!

    Appreciate the good advice. All in all having the sheep tag is still a shock. I’ll say, score is definitely not a driving factor as she isn’t holding a tag with record book rams in the unit. More or less didn’t want to end up with a ram she thought was a good looking ram in her eyes and it be...

    UPDATE: Tag has been filled!!! Second page for pictures. My wife got lucky and drew a sheep tag in Oregon and I’m a poor judge of rams. Based on harvest data in the last 10yrs it’s not common to see a ram in the 170’s, a couple have been taken. Majority of what has been harvested score in the...
