[Deleted member 8-15-23]

Here's 1 room in my wi. Cabin. 47 entered book critters , a 393 bull, life size Kodiak, #55 all time bou, oh and 2 slams. For those who stated I was a poser? Well, been there, done that.

Again, my son, and his gf who is climbing a 1,000 foot wall tomorrow is on my hunt. Could we do this hunt diy? Of course, but with a oil tag, why not book the best. And the wildcard this year is 72 feet of snow. So are the mature rams@12k or 9k? That's why 2 spotters will be out 7 days before our hunt. Not concerned about the shot, I will be tight as a tick with my 6.5. All about finding mature rams, don't care about score, just want a mature ram, ethical shot. This will be the best hunt of my life. Son being with me is epic!!!

Just don't let one of those other hunters steal your SOAL.

I have been blessed with a great hunting life, if the other 2 hunters kill bigger rams then me, good for them, I don't care..

Please raise hands how many keyboard cowboys had a basecamp@12,800 feet? Crickets.... then kill a ram, and pack it out. Well that just cut these experts down to maybe 5 total. So, yes, I will take my old body, crap optics. And kill a desert ram. Had 1 guy here say Desert rams don't live above the desert??? Amazing ignorance. You think you can diy this hunt? Summit Whitney, right across the valley, without and rifle our camping gear, let me know how that goes for you. Ha.

My scopes will not be a problem. My physical condition is my only concern. Thx.

Go to bed!

White Mt over my left shoulder. I was at 13k about to summit Middle Palisade at over 14k. Get a thigh master...squeeze the checks and pop that ram!

This is all kinds of disappointing.

Why a "Bowhunter" would trade in his bow for a rifle just because it's a OIL hunt makes me think they ain't a Bowhunter.



Then, if getting a new gun for 400 and in, you gotta know that you shoulda just gotten a .223.

As a "spotter" and Sherpa, Hi. That hunt was published in one of the RMBS editions.

I don't think anyone has said anything about your fitness, or trophy room, or how great your team is, or even your original cartridge of choice nor wood stocked rifle.

There's been a narrow focus on your effort into and understanding of external ballistics, with a sprinkling of rifle scope comments. Download the Hornady ballistics app or Strelok app onto your phone and you'll get oodles of back pats here along with the outstanding answers to your original question.

WTF? This thread turned into a complete dumpster fire... I regret trying to help the OP. He's already been there done that.

Spectacular photo. As a Fudd from Wisconsin, I didn't know people could hunt in such places. Is this goat eatable?

 

[mtnwrunner]

As a complete poser, a bench rest shooter, a keyboard cowboy, a sea level hunter and someone who just lives vicariously through rokslide...........I'll take this keyboard moment to lock this thread.
To the OP........you are welcome to post a trip/hunt report.
