Okay, so I reached out to the artist formerly known as @PSEMaSomethingSomething and he refuses to come back to Rokslide on principle, and he is a principled man. He did however, allow me to post HARD PROOF his exploits to show the haters. Without further ado:

Day 1: Easy hike. Started below sea level. Base camp was at 12,800, but I packed 13,000 vertical. Immortal.

Day 2: started scouting. Epic. Hurricane HIT. Mountains flooded. Biblical. Water all the way to the peaks. The weak took the easy way. Drowned. Made a raft of human corpses to survive.

Day 3: hiked back down to truck in Death Valley. Below sea level. Wanted a little Debbie oatmeal pie and Zebra Cake. hiked back up. 13k again. Bad ass. No pics. So bad ass, haters would call it deep fake.

Day 4: saw first Ram. Big boy. 30” rack. Totally focused on him. Got my .270. Ready to go.

Day 5:
Spotted ram on opposite peak with trusty Simmons Spotter. 2 miles away. Counted rings. At least 15. He’s in range, but I want to be closer. Drop down to the bottom, at least 14k vertical. Hike back up. Carry guides pack. Weak sauce. I tripped on a corpse of weak hunter and dropped rifle right on my Leupold. No worries. Rattles just like normal. I know that rattle. Did a stalk. Started at 8am.

Day 6: finished stalk at noon. 30 hours of crawling in 60 foot drifts. No rust on 270. Totally good. Easy day. Got to within 300 yards. Dropped the hammer. gave two warning shots. Out of respect for the old warrior. Antlers are huge in this ram. Snuck to 120 feet. Ranged him twice to be sure. No dope. I know my drops for 120 feet by heart. Third shot I actually aimed. Hit him twice. Perfect shots. He is a stud. Tapes out to 459 inches! Already submitted to P&Y

Day 7: looked at what I did, and it was very good. Rested. Just like God.

Day 8: started pack out. Got charged by a grizzly. Charged at 12 yards. Shot him in the face 8 times. Bullets all bounced. Dropped him with the old 270. One heart shot.

Although not as good as the dubbed over video in the original BOAL thread, this post is epic in its own right.
Very well done!

I've followed along silently from the beginning, yet this has to be the single best post I've ever seen.

Hats off to you sir, I need a new computer pretty sure it's fried from spitting all over it while ROTFL over this hunt recap.

Those lifted trucks are 2wd. Don’t forget LA has encroached all the way to San Diego, you can get out of there without bumper to bumper traffic, June glume is 12 months straight, the water is cold as shit, sdsu is awesome. That’ll give you a good start! 😆
Had an SD local the other day tell me he loved Denver because it was like SD was 20 years ago… ugh 😑 the pain will continue I guess we have a long way to the bottom…

I’m in SD right now. My old stomping grounds… I went to UCSD. Downtown smells like piss and there’s bums everywhere, roaming the streets and screaming at people. It sucks, because it used to be such a nice place compared to LA. Pretty much like any big city these days. You can’t get away from it, although some cities are worse than others. Nowhere is safe. Rant over.
