2019 Sheep "meatpole"

Twenty-three years of applying for Idaho sheep, some experience gained on the way, a lot of helpful advice from several other people, the sweat of my brother and a few really, really good friends, and more than a few miles on my boots paid off with this nine year old ram.

I used a LH Tikka T3X SL in 6.5 CM, topped with a 3-9 SWFA scope and loaded with 147 Hornady ELD-Ms. The shot was at 417 yds off my crossed trekking poles with my Kifaru Reckoning pack under the buttstock.

Thank you to everyone who helped!

This is an incredible ram for anywhere, let alone central Idaho where 150-160 types are the norm. AWESOME!!!!
 
I know nothing about sheep but the body on that ram and face look huge. Congrats.

being my first sheep, I don't know a ton either. The guides did comment on how huge the ram was. It was a challenge to take a photo where the body and head size made the horns looks as big as they were.

I saw the pics Jonah or Skyler put up with your ram and moose skulls together and I have to admit that the horns looked bigger when not attached to that pig of a sheep. Looks like a hell of a trip, that moose is a TANK too!
