My Idaho Ram

[outlook8]

Thank you very much! I think when you don't get excited anymore it's time to hang it up. Looks like you shot a dandy, congratulations to you too!

Yours looks bigger, what'd he score?

Awesome story and writeup, congrats on a stud ram!

I know the emotions well...I also was lucky enough to draw and harvest (including a first shot miss) an Idaho Rocky this year.

Congrats to you as well on your hunt and ram! Good write-up in Idaho Wild Sheep journal as well! My write-up of my '24 Idaho Cali ram hunt is in that issue as well. I missed a shot too and broke my pelvis two weeks before season opened so I'm in the ups and downs of sheep hunting club also!

@JREG19 you should consider submitting your story as well to the Summer '26 issue - you've got it written up already and great photos!

Idaho Wild Sheep journal They publish each issue for free online reading. Lots of good tales of sheep hunts - I'd recommend reading mine if you have trouble falling to sleep, should do the trick!! Outlook8 has great story and pics - great ram!

It's always hard for me to tell in pictures. Your's looks like he has a lot of great mass.

I'm not even sure what mine scores, I didn't put a tape to him. I'm guessing he's probably 170's, but that's my uneducated guess. He's at the taxidermist now.

Ouch, a broken pelvis is definitely not conducive to sheep hunting. Haha I'm glad you were still able to get it done. I actually crashed my dirtbike while scouting a month before my season and broke my 2 front teeth almost in half, and hurt my knee to the point I think I may have slightly tore something. It still doesn't feel 100%. I didn't think about adding that to the story until after I posted it. Haha

Thanks for the encouragement on sending my story in to IDWSF. I've thought about doing that. I'll go back and look for yours.

Funny, how do you know if a sheep hunter is lying?………his lips are moving

“As I was leaving I ran across some other guys and wouldn't you know, one of them had a sheep tag. We kind of talked about where we were going to hunt and he kind of lied to me and I kind of lied to him. You know how it goes haha.”

I need to sit down and write my story one of these days as well. Funny enough, the morning I shot my sheep we drove right by @JREG19 probably enjoying his victory morning coffee after he had already tagged out. Had I known he had a slammer sheep in the pickup we would have stopped to congratulate.

Haha the question is, who's story was exaggerated more?

You definitely should do a write up. It's funny how many of us ended up hunting the same spot.
