My Epic Sheep Hunt

Recommended Posts

To say my hunt turned out to be great would be an understatement.  It was one of the best experiences ever, from scouting to the time laying hands on my ram.  Memorable to say the least especially with just my nephew, grand nephew and I getting I done. So quick a run down…  ram was aged at 8, but with the gnarly bases G&F said he could be 9+ but couldn’t tell for sure.  Ram scored 174.  One circumference landed in the bad spot in his horn which kept him from scoring higher but that just adds great character to the ram.  His good side measures 91”. Oh in the last pic with grand nephew, the road that goes through the saddle, that saddle is where I shot from

Good for you! Sounds like you had a fantastic once in a lifetime hunt, and have a great ram to look at in the years to come to remind you of that hunt! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent ram in any setting but to get it done with the family like that is truly incredible. Great stuff and huge congratulations!

How in the WORLD did he stay on his feet that long?! That first shot was perfect. Second shot was great as well.

 

Awesome ram man, I am happy for you!

Thanks. From what I’m told it’s not to unusual for a sheep to take some lead.  The third shot I put it right through both shoulders and he went four legs in the air.  460 yards.

That's a beautiful ram! They are so hard for me to score. I would have thought he was bigger. What gun were you shooting?

Thank you.  If his other horn wasn’t the way it was he would have been 180-181.It’s a 6.5 creedmoor.
