2019 Sheep "meatpole"

[Jimbob]

A Canuck here with my first ram.

Do you have more pictures and a story about that ram? I always love hearing how local BC hunters got it done for Stone's.

The sheep gods were kind to me and my hunting partners this season. Three tags, three rams. Lots of walking around in the mountains with heavy backpacks and some incredible memories made.

Took this Kamchatka Snow Sheep on August 20th in the Milkovo Region. It was truly an epic adventure 16 time zones from home. There were a few challenges including getting rain/fogged-in for 5 days. Was rewarded with this 13 year old Ram on day 9.

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!

Yessir-Solid ram. If that’s the area I believe you are in, that’s about as big as they get, and pretty close to the river for this time of year as well. Double bonus.
nice work, man.
I am super jealous. I have been putting in for 11 years, but probably won’t ever draw. Idaho is getting pretty sad with the “growth” so it is even cooler you finally got your tag.

Thanks. Did a bunch of research prior to booking including chatting with SCI and GSCO friends who had previously done this kind of trip. Had dialogue with about a dozen outfitters, but quickly narrowed it down to Vladimir Koshcheev or Max Vorobiev. After face-to-face discussions at US shows I booked with Max (Professional Russian Outfitters). Had a great experience. They were a lot of fun in camp but tough/dedicated guides. Would have no hesitation to hunt with them again. Here is a pic of the ram who was with the one I shot - a very nice shooter as well.

After 31 years of applying my Friend Mike finally drew a Colorado S34 Archery Ram tag. He punched it on day 7 of the hunt. His Ram took one last leap off of a cliff and into an avalanche chute. He did break off his tips and smashed his face. By far the most amazing hunt that I have ever been apart of. Ton of respect for these amazing animals and the Hunters that pursue them. Public land DIY hunt. Vega

62nd Ram? Wow!

 

[BuzzH]

62nd Ram? Wow!

62nd ram I saw on the hunt...averaged seeing less than 3 rams a day and saw sheep every day I hunted.

 

[BeaverHunter]

Oh gotcha. That makes sense. Congrats on a great one!

Right on Buzz! Great job and great ram! No doubt you earned him, special animal for sure.

I don't see many girls on this thread, so here's a Washington State ewe from Cleman Mountain I got on Friday. 45 caliber T/C Seneca from about 45 - 50 yards. I was lucky enough to draw my ram tag for this unit in 2014. I've been wondering how many guys have been lucky enough to have drawn both a ram and ewe tag in this state...can't be too many!

 

[slick]

Right on! She’ll eat. I shot a ewe in MT and I thought the meat was great. Enjoy!

Holy cow. This thread made it all the way to November. And with a traditional muzzleloader no less!

Most of the Desert hunts have not even started. We have more to look forward to seeing.

Congrats! An awesome achievement. I haven’t ever taken an animal with a sidelock muzzleloader but it’s on my list.
