roninflag Report post Posted December 17, 2009 thanks to bryce for posting the pics. i had my son; DOC PETERS( see the az trophy book he has numerous bear and lion) and jerry herman helping on the scouting and hunt. this came on the heels of 10 days in 12aw. i have done really any "backpacking for 15-20 years .. ....jerry had one pegged the day before the hunt when my son and i went in. he was no where to be found dec1. doctor peters glassed this one updec 1 opening morning; and it took ryan and i 5 plus hours to get there. ryan and fred got some great footage of the hunt and bighorns. i made a good shot 298 yards with a 7mm at around 3 pm opening day.. he went about 10 yards . 168 berger at 2920. had he gone 10 more yards he might have gone like 5-600 down it is vertical and then steep where they live. i can not say enough for fred ryan and jerryand all they did . roninflag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted December 17, 2009 I have always wanted to see that ram up close to see that big chipped off horn. If someone has the photo up close o that please post it. What a ram for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 17, 2009 Ron, Congrats on the tag and a nice ram. Great horn character. Ram must have been a very obstinate bully Of course you need to give an autopsy report detailing the Berger VLD performance. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roninflag Report post Posted December 17, 2009 DOUG- the 168 was not my first choice, tried 139 horn, 140 part, 14o accubond. they were all good. but not great accuracy. the 168 shot real good groups. had never shot anything but paper with them. but i confidence the bergers would shoot all the way as far as the kenton knobb would go. i had a dead rest on a rock. the ram was in a herd of 40 milling in some trees. quartering away i shot behind the right rib. it went forward and ended up between the left front shoulder and the neck. it did not exit . we did not open the the chest . my impression is you may want to go up a weight with them..... i.e. if you normally to shoot 150"s you may want to shoot 168"s. one shot on a 300 pound ram is a small statistical sample but i am pleased .roninflag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
