2025 SHEEP MEAT POLE

[grizz19]

2025 California desert. White mountains at 12,000ft. Crazy as it sounds but that’s how high these deserts live in there. 10 days of HARD hunting and turned up the guy. One shot, a terrible pack out and here we are! One of the 2 best rams killed in there since the die off a few years ago. Super proud of this ram. Never thought I’d get the opportunity to hunt sheep but stoked to have drawn a random tag so this dream could come true!

Thanks to a lot of luck and some hard work I was able to get my first ram. Couldn't be happier with how thing's worked out. Can't wait to get back out next year.

Idaho Rocky. Once in a lifetime tag and unreal experience. The 2 close friends with me and I joked that this is the type of hunt we’ll be telling our grandkids about in 40 years.View attachment 931240

He was just very unique colored. I am not sure what causes it but there was another ram killed in the same area that was just as dark. Every other ram was much lighter colored though.

Heard about all the effort from Josh, congrats. Well earned.

Went 25 days in the BC Bush before getting it done.

Cool ram. Did your outfitter let you hangout until you tagged out? I bet you were glad when you could finally shower.

Yes, I was done after 14 days but he encouraged me to stay at get a RAM because we were working so hard at it and covering all kinds of ground. My wife and kids gave me the clearance to stay so I stayed. apparently it was the longest hunt in the outfitters career. Killed on day 25, pack out was two more days. All we could find were 7 year olds and less until we finally got on this one on day 25.

Awesome sheep! I'm just curious if you got any hot tips from ROAL Reaper on how to hunt the Whites?

Decided to shoot my 1955 mod. 70, .270, vx5 leupold. My son will carry my new 6.5prc. Dad built this gun for me, I killed a bull in 1970, grizz, moose, bou and 300 deer. Super excited, mandatory meeting in sac. For the sheep. Camp@12,800 feet. Lost 20 lbs. Turn 65 in 4 days, this is my oil. Then burned 14 points for the best bow mulie unit in the state, same dates. Gonna get crazy in 2 weeks.

Congrats again. You were with a honorable outfitter!

My Idaho Rocky. Still in disbelief.

Very cool! Looks like the country I will one day chase a sheep in. I would love to hear the story with unit and specifics omitted. PM if you'd prefer

Yes he very much is.
