Chukar Plucker Report post Posted December 15, 2010 After 11 days of hunting and countless hours behing the binoculars I finally pulled the trigger on my 2010 Desert Bighorn. He is great old ram the Department of Wildlife put him at 10 years old, his left side goes 36 inches, right sided is broomed to 33 1/2, with 14.5 inches bases on both for a total score of 166 4/8. I sure thought he was bigger in the scope but i would have pulled the trigger even if i knew what his final score would have been, my wife was really understanding through the whole process but with a 4 year old and 19 month old at home the understanding was turning just a bit and i didnt want to push it to far. I had a great time, learned so much, and met a ton of great people over the last 8 months since i learned i drew my tag. It is funny with all the volunteer help that i did have i ended up harvesting the ram on the the only day i went out by myself. I put a single shot in the ram at 315 yards, and after i got over to him and asked myself "now what" i was able to get a few guys from my office to come out and take some photos and help my carry him off the hill. One of the benefits of having the area 30 minutes out of las vegas. Hope you enjoy the pics... i can start to apply again in 10 years... until then i have alot of repayment help to hand / glass out.
