2019 Sheep "meatpole"

I want to give a big shoutout to @adventure907 Not only did he guide a midwest hunter to his first ram a few days prior to my arrival, he drug a Mississippi boy all over those mountains in pursuit of another. We were able to catch up with one and seal the deal. This man is a sheep hunting machine. I'll be writing up a story in the next few days

nice sheep
 
Alberta bighorn on a resident OTC tag. Finally got one, after 7 years of trying!

One huge day of hiking in, two days of painful hiking out. Memories that will last a lifetime. There really is nothing quite like sheep hunting.

nice sheep
 
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!

Great photo, beautiful ram, ideal!
 
@Arctic_Beaver I like your choice of bipod! How did it perform for you? I just got one not long ago and have shot with it, but not at any game yet. Is that a standard or long? Nice ram too, congrats!!

Excellent! This ram was from 113 yards if I recall correctly, one shot and done with a 143 grain ELD-X from the 6.5 creedmoor. I would say it is very much worth the 5-6ish ounces. For mountain hunts where shots are at higher elevations and less brush on the ground it is very effective. This is the long version. I do want to install the universal adapters in the stock of this rifle and my larger Fierce 300 win mag. So far I've also used the bipod on goats, caribou, and black bears over the last few years.

Awesome thanks for the info. It definitely seems like it’s worth it for such a small weight penalty. From the pics it looks like you using it with their classic rifle adapter? I bought one of their adapter rail options that seems to be working well so far.
