Well, 223 Works on NM Barbary, Too!

Congrats! That's impressive internal damage. It's amazing what can be done with a little ol 223!

Thanks! And yes, I've been very happy with the results of that little bullet...almost too much damage.

Honestly, I don't even tell anyone what round I shoot anymore because it just leads to the same ol' boring circular conversation...just answer "a Tikka" when asked, which usually kills the subject

That is until I have the results on-hand that put any doubt of it's capability to rest.

Was this a public land draw tag or private land access? A ram is on my bucket list.

Public land draw. It was a tough, but cool hunt for sure.

Plenty of private land around but they all want what I consider to be big $$$ to access. I figured I could fly out, hit the hills on my own and hunt them for the cost of a tag on the other side of the property lines.

Either would be a cool hunt for sure. I love that it was in February after most of the other opportunities have closed. Apparently October is also a good time, as it's their rut and the big rams are running around chasing the bands of ewes.
