62nd Ram? Wow!

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!

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.

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. View attachment 127775

Beautiful animal!

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!

What an awesome accomplishment. I think they are going to have to split up the best sheep photo contest into thin horns and bighorns. Some great rams an pics of both. I’m jealous of all of you!

Just to keep the sheep meat-pole thread going - took this free-range Texas Aoudad a few months back via crossbow. It was a very memorable hunt and I had a blast. This old boy was still the boss and since it was “that time of year” we enjoyed the special treat of getting a few long-distance glimpses of him “defending the title.” He was also a much physically bigger critter than we thought. To me, his chaps were the real trophy, especially for a free-range Ram.

Revisiting this thread, man there are some awesome photos on here and several incredible rams. Is it August yet??

Just got back from our desert hunt. Only nonresident tag in CO and my dad drew it. Hundreds of hours of research and 12 days of scouting. Turned out to be a really good ram for the unit. 35”x14.5”. 7yr old. I’m very relieved...heavy tag to have in our pocket! Amazing challenging hunt.
